Step 1: How to connect the OMNIplayer3 to a network
The OMNIplay3 supports both wired and wireless network connectivity.
Wired connection (Recommended)
We recommend connecting the device with a wired connection due to greater network stability. With this alternative, simply connect the RJ45 networking cable directly to the network socket.
Please double-check that the ethernet setting is enabled and the connection is working from the settings menu (Network & Internet - Ethernet).
Wireless connection
Find the settings for wireless network connection under Network & Internet and select Wi-Fi.
- Click on Wi-Fi and enable Wi-Fi in the top right corner. A list of available networks appears.
- Select your network, enter the password, and connect.
- Ensure that you are successfully connected to the internet by checking the WiFi menu. You should see the word "connected" displayed below your selected network if the connection is established.
If you see the message "saved," it could mean that you are experiencing difficulties connecting to the internet or that you have entered an incorrect password.
Step 2: Date & Time
- Scroll down in the Settings menu to find System settings and select Date & Time.
- Enable Use network provided time.
- Set your timezone.
The configuration of the license key
To link an OMNIplay3 with your DatabeatOMNI account it requires a license key that must be activated on the OMNIplay3.
The license key is unique and can only be used with one single device. The license key consists of six letters, four numbers, and a final letter by default.
