Completing the Basic Setup Steps
The Basic Setup option enables the Digital Entertainer HD to use media
files that are on Windows PCs or Macintosh computers. If you use Linux
or have a complex home network, use the functions described in “Custom
Setup and Supervisor Functions” on page 6-1.
Follow these steps for the Basic Setup option:
1. After the audio welcome message, select Basic Setup.
2. Press OK.
The Digital Entertainer HD checks for a network connection.
• Ethernet connection. If connected to an Ethernet network that is
running DHCP (the usual case for home networks), the Digital
Entertainer HD automatically joins the network.
Skip to step 3, “Connect to the Internet.”
• Wireless connection. If an Ethernet LAN connection is not found,
Digital Entertainer HD offers several options:
– Select Setup Network Connection.
– Select Wireless.
The available networks are displayed in a list sorted by signal
strength. You might have to scroll to see your network.
– Select your network from the list and enter the required
network name (SSID) and security settings as needed. The
Digital Entertainer HD tries to connect to it.
Note: A hidden network does not broadcast its
SSID, so the SSID is blank on this display.
To connect to this wireless network, you
must enter the SSID, and then enter any
passphrase or security keys as required.
