Connecting To The Internet - Philips MCP9360I/31 Quick Install Manual

Connecting to the Internet

Your Media Center needs an Internet connection to download the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) and channel frequency
information. Make sure that you have access to a dial-up or broadband Internet connection before starting your Media
Center software setup. Contact your Internet service provider for more information about setting up your Internet con-
nection. Also see 'Connecting to the Internet'.
The Media Center offers two possible ways for connecting to the Internet:
1 via the ethernet cable to a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) modem (if you have a wired network);
2 wireless connection to a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) modem (if you have a wireless network).
If you connect (either wired or wireless) the Media Center to an existing home network with centrally shared broadband
Internet access for all connected computers, you can connect the Media Center directly to your central network device
(the router/gateway). In this way, the Media Center can access the Internet just like your other computers and you do not
need to install ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) to make Internet access available to your Media Center.
Ethernet connection
• Connect the ethernet cable between the router/DSL
modem and the LAN connector (7) of the Media
Center.
