CHOOSING YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION

FireBall supports two networking methods, Ethernet and Dialup
Modem. Your FireBall must be connected to the Internet in order
to lookup disc information, download software updates, and access
Internet Radio.
Note: An external modem is necessary for Dialup access.
External modems are available from most computer retail
stores or contact your Escient dealer for more details.
If you have a broadband Internet connection such as a cable
modem, DSL, or ISDN line, select Ethernet and connect FireBall
to your Ethernet network. You may need additional networking
hardware(like an Ethernet hub) to join your FireBall to your
Ethernet network. See your Escient dealer for more information
about home networking.
If you have a dialup ISP (Internet Service Provider (such as AOL,
Compuserve, Earthlink, MSN etc...) select the Dialup Modem
button.
Follow these steps to select your network connection:
1. Press the SETUP key on the remote to display the
Setup menu.
2. Select the NETWORK Menu
3. Select the NETWORK CONNECTIONS Menu
4. Select either ethernet or dialup modem.
