Logitech Squeezebox Radio plus Media/Musik Server#

Enable at radio
Settings in radio see https://lms-community.github.io/getting-started/migrate-from-uesr-de/

Note: if you have issues with DHCP or DNS or that the radio looses connection to LMS frequently (especially after sleep mode) then do a factory reset and reconnect!
