Connect to the Internet
Sonu Media strongly suggests connecting your SiriusXM GDI-SXBR2 Business Radio via an Ethernet Wired Connection. This is to ensure a more reliable streaming service for your business, and reduce simple connection issues synonymous with general wireless connectivity. The unique “Username” and “Password” credentials used to sign your business into the active SiriusXM Music for Business network will already be loaded into your business radio when you receive it. Completing your internet connection should enable you to start streaming SiriusXM licensed music channels immediately. In the event your radio arrives, and you are either prompted to enter your credentials or cannot connect to the internet at your business, please call Sonu Media to speak with a live customer service agent.
If you have a network router near the SXBR2 Business Internet Radio, you can use the included Ethernet cable to connect to your network router. If your network router enables DHCP, the Internet connection will be automatically set up. If you want to use wireless connection, please follow the steps below. The easiest way to connect to a wireless network is to have the Business Internet Radio scan for wireless networks, and then choose your wireless network from the list of wireless networks. The Business Internet Radio will automatically do this the first time you power it on.
However, if your wireless network name (SSID) is hidden, or if your network is DHCP disabled, you’ll have to manually enter the network settings. Turning the Scroll knob scrolls through menus and lists to highlight items, and pressing the Scroll knob selects a highlighted item.
Easy Connection to a Wireless Network
1. Plug the AC Power Adapter into an AC outlet, and plug the power plug into the connector on the rear of the SXBR2 Business Internet Radio. Press the Power button if the Business Internet Radio does not automatically turn on.
2. If the Sound System has not previously connected to a wireless network, the Business Internet Radio will display the Network Wizard screen, with Wireless highlighted. Press the Scroll knob. Otherwise, press the Home button, turn the Scroll knob to highlight Setup and press the Scroll knob to select. Turn the Scroll knob to highlight Network Wizard and press Scroll knob to select.

4. Wait while the Business Internet Radio scans for wireless networks and then select your wireless network from the list. Turn the Scroll knob to highlight your wireless network and then press the Scroll knob to select.
5. The Business Internet Radio will attempt to connect to the wireless network. If you chose a network that requires a password, you will be prompted to enter the network password. Password will be highlighted. Press the Scroll knob to begin entering the password. Otherwise, the Business Internet Radio will attempt to connect to the wireless network.
6. To enter the network password, turn the Scroll knob to highlight each character of the password and press the Scroll knob to select the character. Then enter the next character and continue until you have finished entering the password. If you make an error, press the P3/P8 button (refered to as “DEL (P3/8)” on the display) to erase the character. When you have completed entering the network password, press the SHIFT button (refered to as “ENTER (shift)” on the display).
