This step explains how to set up your network to
connect to your Base Station at home via either
wireless or wired public Internet access.
Notes
• You need to do this setup before you go out.
• A contract or application may be required to connect
to the Internet at some locations.
To watch video away from home, you must first
connect the Base Station to the Internet. You can
connect the Base Station to the Internet over a
DSL line or a cable TV line.
z Tips
• To use the NetAV function to watch video away
from home, we recommend that the connection to
the Base Station be broadband with upload and
download speeds of at least 300 kbps. Contact your
Internet service provider for more information about
the speed of your communications line.
• The faster line speeds you use, the better picture
quality you get when you watch video using NetAV.
Connecting to the router
Using a LAN cable (not supplied), connect the
LAN port of the Base Station to your router.
The connection method you should use depends
on your ISP and equipment. For more
information, contact your ISP.
Notes
• Depending on your Internet service provider, you
may not be able to connect multiple devices, such as
the Base Station and several computers. For more
information, contact your service provider.
• To determine what kind of LAN cable you use, refer
to the operating instructions for your router, cable
modem, or DSL modem.
• For details on setting up the connection, refer to the
operating instructions for your router, cable modem,
or DSL modem. If you have any questions, contact
your service provider.
• Further information about configurations is also
available on the following website.
