Connecting ReplayTV to a DSL Modem
Connecting ReplayTV to a DSL modem is the same as connecting it to a cable modem with a few exceptions. Refer to "Connecting
ReplayTV to a Cable Modem" on page 13 with the following additions.
•
The DSL modem you own might be a DSL router. If you are not sure, contact your ISP or DSL modem provider. If it is a
router, it can automatically assign an IP address to ReplayTV. If you have PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) DSL
(you have to log on through software before you can access the Internet), you cannot connect ReplayTV directly to your DSL
modem unless it is also a router. PPPoE accounts require that the user log on with a username and password. Software is nor-
mally provided for your computer to do this. If you purchase a router to use with your PPPoE account, verify that it supports
PPPoE.
Using In-Home Video Sharing and Photo Viewer Without a Home Network
It's easy to copy pictures to ReplayTV or watch shows recorded on another ReplayTV in your home. To connect two or more
ReplayTVs, or to connect ReplayTV to your PC, you will need to purchase a hub or switch and an Ethernet cable for each
ReplayTV. You may also need to purchase an Ethernet network card for your PC.
Watching shows on another ReplayTV
1
Plug both ReplayTVs into your hub/switch.
2
Set up both ReplayTVs to connect using the phone line.
Once both are set up, they will automatically "find" each other on your network. See "Watching Shows Recorded on other Replay-
TVs" on page 47.
Copying pictures from a PC to ReplayTV
1
Plug your PC and ReplayTV into your hub/switch.
2
Manually enter the network settings for the network card in your PC.
When set up to use the phone line, ReplayTV defaults to the following IP address range: 192.168.0.x. Set the IP address and
Subnet mask on your PC to 192.168.0.100 and 255.255.255.0. If you don't know how to enter the IP address on your network
card, consult Windows Help or the documentation for your network card. See "Installing ReplayTV Photo Transfer" on page 49
to view photos on your ReplayTV.
