Check Your Internet

Tips
• To use the NetAV function, we recommend a
broadband connection to the Base Station with
upload and download speeds of at least 300 kbps.
Contact your Internet service provider for more
information about the speed of your
communications line.
• The faster line speeds you use, the better picture
quality you get when you watch TV using NetAV.
Note
• The NetAV function cannot be used with the
following connection types:
• Analog modem connections
• Connections via a proxy server
• Cable TV networks or communal LANs in
apartment complexes that do not provide
Global IP addresses.
• Dropped frames, broken audio, and noise can occur
when the connection speed is slow.
• If there is a firewall in your home network, you must
configure it to allow the NetAV function to use port
number 5021 (default port at time of purchase). For
details, refer to the documentation of your router or
network equipment.
