d) Changing the Internet connection method

• To change the way i-Player connects to the Internet, go to: MENU - MY PLAYER - PREFERENCES - INTERNET - CONNECTION
• To diagnose and troubleshoot the current connection, go to: MENU - MY PLAYER - HELP - DIAGNOSTICS - NETWORK.
Share your existing broadband connection
You can use your existing broadband connection by connecting i-Player to your broadband access (ADSL modem, Cable modem,
Ethernet router or Ethernet-ready dwelling unit) with a supported USB-Ethernet adapter. In this configuration, there are no additional
connection charges and your telephone line remains available.
• Simply insert the USB-Ethernet adapter into the USB port of i-Player
• When the Ethernet adapter is detected, i-Player establishes the Ethernet connection automatically
• Manual configuration and advanced options are available from the Internet connection preferences screen
• If you need to switch back to a modem connection, you must unplug the USB-Ethernet adapter.
Use an existing ISP access package
You can set up i-Player to connect using your own Internet Service Provider (ISP) connection package. This feature may depend on
your ISP capabilities and services:
• Select MY OWN ISP in the Access provider list, then press blue to save
• Enter your account details as supplied by your ISP (access telephone number, user login, password and SMTP server name).
• You can also set additional modem preferences through: MENU - MY PLAYER - PREFERENCES - INTERNET - CONNECTION -
MODEM
• You can set up two different Internet telephone connections.
Use i-Player default telephone connection
You can use the i-Player pay-as-you-go default Internet access service charged per minute at BT's standard local call rate:
• Select DEFAULT CONNECTION in the Access provider list, then press blue to save
• You can also set additional modem preferences through: MENU - MY PLAYER - PREFERENCES - INTERNET - CONNECTION -
MODEM.
Note that the i-Player default connection dials an 0845 telephone number - accessible from a BT line. You may need to use the 1470
prefix to ensure calling line identity is released. If a BT line is not used, check with your telephone Provider to see if an additional or
alternative prefix is required to access this number.
Use your existing WiFi network
You can connect i-Player to your existing wireless network using a compatible USB-WiFi adapter. You can use i-Player's WiFi
capability in either ad-hoc mode (WiFi adapter to WiFi adapter) or architecture mode (WiFi adapter to WiFi base). By connecting to
your wireless network, you'll be able to share your existing Internet connection.
• To set a WiFi connection, start by connecting a supported USB WiFi adapter to i-Player USB port. When i-Player is detected, you
can configure your WiFi connection.
• Go to: MENU - MY PLAYER - PREFERENCES - INTERNET - WIRELESS to set up the WiFi parameters according to your existing WiFi
device, including if necessary the WEP key.
