Sonic Blue 4500 Digital Camera User Manual


 
Using a router to connect ReplayTV to your cable modem is recommended. The router will allow you to share your cable modem
without needing additional IP addresses from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Also, your ISP may require that you log on or
use special software on your PC in order to access the Internet. Consult your ISP for requirements. Refer to the following connec-
tion examples for details.
1 Use a recommended router that your ISP supports and
connect it directly to your cable modem. (See Recom-
mended Routerson page 15.) If you have a single-port
router, you will also need a hub or a switch to connect
more than one device to the router. Verify that the router
is configured properly for ReplayTV. See Configuring
Ports for Sending Recordings on page 16.
2 Turn on your router. Refer to the routers user guide to
set up the router. The default configuration of the router
is normally sufficient. By default, most routers have
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enabled
for automatically assigning IP addresses.
3 You can connect ReplayTV directly to the router, or to a
hub or switch that is connected to the router. Refer to
Connecting ReplayTV to an Existing Networkon
page 12 to complete the setup.
