Connection between Network Media Receiver and computer

This product incorporates two network interfaces. For connecting the Network Media Receiver to
the computer, select the type of network interface that is best suited to your requirements.
Note
If both network interfaces are used at the same time, the cable connection has priority.
Wireless connection
The wireless LAN interface built into the Network Media Receiver can be used to connect to a
computer via a wireless LAN access point.
Cable based connection
In this method, the Network Media Receiver is connected to the computer using network cable.
Depending on the number of computers and type of equipment, various configurations are possible.
The illustration below shows an example for connecting the Network Media Receiver to the
computer via a hub (a device for connecting multiple devices on a network).
Note
The Network Media Receiver always operates in
wireless LAN infrastructure mode (access point
network mode). Ad-Hoc (Peer-to-Peer) mode is
not supported.
This method can be used also without a
separate access point, provided that the
computer is equipped with a wireless LAN
interface.
