The Id uses ports 52100 to 52199, so these must be open in your internal firewalls (but not external).

It requires a DHCP Server, which is usually available on home networks. The Id uses DHCP to get a network address. Any DLNA or UPnP device should also see it.

In another minute or two, the Id will show up under Playing Now in JRiver Media Center on your other machines. If you have a monitor, you should see a text menu. In about 60 seconds, the Id should be running. (See 'Power' below if you need a different plug.) This same button is a safe way to shut down the Id (press, not hold). Turn the NUC on by pressing (not holding) the power button on the top. It is possible to use the Id without a monitor, but it is more difficult to set it up. It is recommended that you use an HDMI monitor for setup. If you don't have a network there, consider using Ethernet over Powerline.Ĭonnect an Ethernet cable (network), USB keyboard, power, and audio output (USB, HDMI, or 1/8' stereo analog). Position the Id near your audio amplifier or other audio output.
