Appendix A: Additional Setup and
Installation Assistance
This appendix provides additional setup and software installation information not covered in Chapters 1 and 2.

Network connections

Follow the instructions in this appendix if the typical setup is not possible in your home, or if you want to use
optional connections that may make setup simple for you. Also, if you have more than one router in your home, you
may need to adjust your network setup to use the Slingbox.

SlingPlayer software installation

The Setup Wizard and the SlingPlayer application automatically discover the Slingbox on your home network. Cer-
tain personal firewall security software may block this process or categorize the Slingbox as an "intruding device."
If this occurs, you need to change your security software settings to allow the Slingbox as a device on your net-
work. See page 69 for information about adjusting your firewall software settings.
This appendix also provides information about resetting your Slingbox to its factory settings.
