Neodigits x5000 Quick Setup Guide

Because the HELIOS X5000 is somewhat of a mini-computer, it is able to

access computers on your LAN/ WLAN and play content therein. To do so,

however, you will need to install the NeoLink Server software on your

computer(s). The server software can be downloaded from the link below:

http://www.neodigits.com/download/NeoLink.zip

When installing the software, ensure that your firewall or Windows XP firewall

will not prevent you from downloading this software. Remember to open

the TCP/ IP port 8000. Refer to Windows documentation for instructions

if needed.

If you have the NeoLink media server software installed on a computer on your network,

you can play video, audio and photo content stored on the network.

When the HELIOS X5000 is connected to the network it will detect all computers running

the NeoLink Server software.

All server names of computers running the NeoLink will be listed on the home page

displayed on your TV.

To play content from a computer on the network, simply use the cursor on the remote

control to select the server on the list and press <enter>. Then use the NeoLink browser

to select the content you wish to play.

Note:

Through NeoLinks Online Media option you can also access all online content that is

bookmarked on your media server (web pages, Web Radio & TV, RSS feeds, PodCasts

etc)

For more information on NeoLink Server software installation and setup see the NeoLink

user guide.

reboot the player. After rebooting, go to <wireless> setting again to setup

the parameters to your wireless AP (Access Point).
