What is musicm8?

musicm8 is a Network Attached Storage solution to securely store music, movie and

picture les on a typical home network, with a usable storage capacity of 1TB (terabyte), or

almost 10,000 songs.

Simple NAS devices are in signicant demand as home storage needs grow. However, mu-

sicm8 is a world rst by using XiVA’s proven CD conversion technology; musicm8 incorpo-

rates a slot load CD drawer and CD recording engine.

For a user who wants to store all their music les on a network device, this provides the

means to simply insert and record a CD unattended, with no PC required and have it avail-

able to all their music devices and PCs throughout the home without any conguration or

set up.

Set Up

What’s in the box?

musicm8•

Power supply and cable•

Ethernet cable•

What you need

A way to plug your musicm8 into your home network; a direct connection into

your router or network switch is perfect, but you can treat your musicm8 like a

computer and plug it into any other Ethernet connection in your home.

If you need to place your musicm8 in a room which does not have an Ethernet

socket, we recommend you use a ‘Homeplug’ device, for example:

http://catalog.belkin.com

Note: a broadband connection is required. Dial-up internet connection is not sup-

ported.

Please ensure that the disc slot is not obstructed. When a disc has been

recorded, it is automatically ejected from the slot. If the slot is blocked

when the disc is ejected, this can result in damage to the drive.

musicm8 Default Settings

Your musicm8 has been precongured with XiVA’s recommended default settings,

for ease of use and quick set up.

Default Encoder Settings: MP3 320 kbps

musicm8 Default Shares

\\musicm8\shared\Muslc

\\musicm8\pictures

\\musicm8\shared\Playlists

\\musicm8\video

\\musicm8\databackups

These settings can be changed and new shares can be added at any time via the

musicm8 web interface.

Set Up in 4 Quick Steps

Step 1 - Connecting the unit up.

Connecting the Ethernet cable to the musicm8

Connect your supplied Ethernet cable to a spare port on your router.

Then connect it to your musicm8 as shown below. Do this before you plug the

power supply into your musicm8.

If you are unsure where to connect your Ethernet cable to your musicm8, the port

is marked on the back of your unit with the LAN network symbol

When connected, you should see a green light on your musicm8 network port.

Connecting the power supply to your musicm8

Connect your power supply to a mains power socket. (Plugs vary in each country)

Connect the power supply output to your musicm8 unit.

Your musicm8 power connection is labelled DC IN and is located near the middle

on the rear of your unit.

XiVA musicm8 User Guide

musicm8 Rear Panel Note:

In most cases only the network LAN port connection will be used.

USB connections can be used to back up your media collection. See the backup

section on page 10.

Use of the USB connections for any other purpose is not supported.

Power up your musicm8

Press the power button briey to turn on your musicm8.

The power button is located just below the cd slot on the front of the unit.

You will see the small, blue light on the front of the unit glow when it turns on. Af-

ter a few moments, your musicm8 will beep to let you know that it has started up.

For most media players no further conguration of musicm8 is required.

Step 2 - Optional

Congure your musicm8 with the web interface

Depending on your operating system and network setup, there are a few ways to

connect to the musicm8 web interface.

Open a web browser - Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari are all great

choices - and verify that you have an active Internet connection by visiting any

website (we recommend checking out www.XiVA.com).

Note: Google Chrome is not yet supported.

Then, in the location bar of your web browser, type “musicm8” (without

quotes) and choose “go” or hit enter on your keyboard. You will then be

prompted for a user name and password which is:

Username: admin

Password: musicm8

If you do not see the web interface appear in a few moments, try typing

“musicm8.local” or “//musicm8” into the location bar. Again; no quotes.

You may have to directly type the IP address of your musicm8 into the

location bar instead. If this is the case, and you don’t know your musicm8’s IP

address, you can download the XiVA IP Tool from:

XiVA.com/musicm8/downloads/musicm8iptool.zip

If the musicm8 web interface does not appear after following these

steps, please refer to the troubleshooting guide on page 42.

Step 3

Recording your rst CD with musicm8

Recording CDs is quick and easy - just insert the disc into your musicm8 and walk

away!

In a few minutes, your musicm8 will beep and gently eject the disc. A few mo-

ments after that, your CD will have been encoded and be available for playback via

your selected media player.

Make sure nothing is blocking the disc slot. If the unit ejects the CD and

the slot is obstructed, the drive could be damage.
