INTERNET
This also applies to a wired
connection between your
internet gateway router
and the SL400i.
Option A:
With a wired broadband Internet connection:
Option B:
Through a wireless base station:
If you have a PC with a wired broadband Internet
connection, you will have to make that Internet connection
available to the wireless (or wired) network that connects to
the SL400i.
To do this, install router/gateway software on the PC for
bridging the broadband Internet connection to the wireless or
wired network.
As an example we have included a chapter on page 46-50 of
the extended User Manual on the Philips Media Manager CD
on how to enable Internet Connection Sharing from your
Microsoft ® Windows ® operating system. For Microsoft
other operating systems, third party router/gateway software is
readily available on the market.
For more information on sharing an Internet connection, read
the documentation that came with the software or with your
operating system.
> After bridging the internet connection to your wireless (or
wired) network, you will be able to use the SL400i to access
the Internet just like your computer.
Wireless base stations (and wired internet gateway routers)
share their broadband Internet access automatically within the
network.
> The SL400i will be able to access the Internet just like your
other wireless or wired network computer(s).
