        Follow the instructions that came with your network card for setting a static IP address of 192.168.0.1 

    on your PC. 

   

    In a wireless home network, no network cable connection is required. For the best possible reception, 

    rotate the wireless antenna so it extends perpendicular to the Digital Media Player. 

    The Digital Media Player can communicate with wireless access points (infrastructure mode) or directly to 

    PCs with wireless network cards (ad hoc mode). Like all wireless devices, some experimentation may be 

    necessary to find the best location for your Digital Media Player. Signal strength and quality will depend 

    on distance, walls, and building structure. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

      The Digital Media Player supports wireless networking. For the best results, you should setup and test 

      your wireless network before attempting to use the Digital Media Player wirelessly. This will rule out any 

   problems with your network. 

    • Scanning for Wireless Networks 

     

     

 

The Digital Media Player will scan for available networks. You should know the name of your 

     

     

 

wireless network, as the Digital Media Player may pick up other wireless networks (WLANs) in your 

     

     

 

area. The network name is sometimes called the SSID. 

     

     

 

Note: Your network must broadcast its name for the Digital Media Player to find it. Do not use 

     

     

 

silent broadcast. 

    • Wireless Reception 

     

     

 

Wireless reception will vary on distance, access point manufacturer, number of walls, and 

     

     

 

environment. If possible, try setting up the Digital Media Player in an area that is close to your PC or 

     

     

 

wireless access point. Once everything is working properly, you can experiment with placement and 

     

     

 

distance. 

        • Wireless Infrastructure or Ad Hoc 

     

     

 

These are intimidating names for some very simple concepts. 

     

     

 

Infrastructure mode, a wireless access point exists on the network. The access point can be in attached 

     

     

 

to a hub or router, or the router can act as a wireless access point as well. All PCs and wireless devices 

     

     

 

communicate through the access point. 

     

     

 

If you do not have a wireless access point or router, you can use Ad Hoc mode. Ad Hoc mode allows 

     

     

 

communication between a PC with a wireless card and the Digital Media Player. 

     

     

 

Communication occurs between the devices directly without the need for an access point.
