Wireless Networking
The DF-1710 is able to communicate over wireless ethernet (also known as "WLAN", "802.11b" or "wi-fi") by
means of an external USB receiver module.
Supported USB Modules
The DF-1710 is compatible only with those wireless USB modules using the Atmel AT76C503A and AT76C505
chipsets and certain radio chipsets. Following are USB modules known to use these chipsets:

Note that the version numbers may be important; different versions of the same model may use different
chipsets. Usually the version number is shown with the model number on the manufacturer's labeling.
The Xterasys and Netgear MA111 products are"pen" style devices that plug directly into the USB port without
a cable and will remain concealed behind the decorative frame.
In addition to the USB wireless module at the DF-1710, you will need a compatible wireless access point (WAP,
or Base Station) connected to your PC and/or network. Refer to the base station manufacturer's instructions for
configuring your computer(s) and wireless network.
The USB wireless module should be connected to the DF-1710's USB port before turning the frame on, or if it's
already on, you will need to reboot by powering the unit off and on or by using the menu reboot. On powerup
or reboot, the USB module will attempt to communicate with the nearest base station and obtain a wireless IP
address. The wired Ethernet connection, if attached to a network, can be used simultaneously with the wireless
connection. The two ports have separate IP addresses and function totally independently, however, traffic is
not routed between the wired and wireless interfaces.
If the module is unplugged from the USB port for some reason while the frame is running, it will not
automatically come back online when you plug it back in - you must go to the System Information menu and
refresh its IP address by pressing the back arrow key, or you may need to reboot the frame.
