    2 SB Touch and NAS

    Hi

    I now have 2 SB Touches hooked up to my NAS and SB Server software. Is there anywhere in the server software I can identify which Touch is which?

    Is it possible to give names to those Touch's? If so, where can I do this?

    Now if I go to the Settings of the server software, I click the 'Player' tab and if I click 'Squeezebox Touch' drop down arrow, I see 2 SB Touch but they only bring up the Alarm settings.

    With 2 Touch's and since I have not given them individual names yet, how do I identify which on is the older and/or new one to name them correctly?

    Also, where in the server software do I go and adjust the time. The Touch is showing an hour behind.

    Not sure what's going on there. Maybe they're not attached to the server, but to mysqueezebox.com instead.

    You pretty much have to give them names to tell them apart. You can set the player name either in the web interface's Settings > Player > Touch > Basics Settings, or on the player itself under Settings > Squeezebox Name. Obviously, if they both start out with the same name, then doing it on the players is the only way to know for sure which gets which name.

    Also, where in the server software do I go and adjust the time. The Touch is showing an hour behind.
    It should take the time from the server, like all Squeezeboxes, but make sure the timezone is set correctly on the player. On the player go into Settings > Advanced > Timezone.

    In the web-UI > settings

    at "player settings" > "basic settings"

    The last lines on that page is it's ip number on the network and the players mac-address .
    The mac number is printed on the sticker at the bottom off the player.

    I would also consider using different wallpapers (background pic) on each player to tell them apart.

    This must be setup in both players.

    You have probably noticed the "choose player" menu option that is now avaible on both your Touch, so now you can control the other player from the front and with the ir.

    Now that you named them ,you can still tell them apart at the top off the home screen, there the name of the controlled player is shown, but it is not that obvius so different backgrounds makes it obvius from the other side of the room.
