Updating SlingPlayer or the firmware for your
Slingbox PRO
From time to time, we release updated versions of SlingPlayer software and Slingbox
firmware. Both of these make improvements and sometimes add features.
Most of the time, new firmware is included in a new version of SlingPlayer.
Occasionally, new firmware is released separately. Installation of either is simple.
To update SlingPlayer or the firmware for your Slingbox:
1.
When SlingPlayer informs you that a new version of firmware or a new
version of SlingPlayer is available, download the file and save it to a location
that's easy for you to find.
2.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
Restoring your Slingbox PRO to factory
settings
There are times that you may need to restore your Slingbox to its factory settings. For
example:
•
If you replace the router that's connected your Slingbox
•
If you forget your password
•
If you move your Slingbox to another home or network
With your Slingbox powered on, press and hold the Reset button on the back of
Slingbox for five seconds. The lights on the front of your Slingbox will quickly flash from
left to right and then flash slowly. Your Slingbox will reset after 30 seconds. Once reset,
the Power light stays solid.
Note:
If you restore factory settings, all of your Slingbox settings will be
cleared and it will need to be reconfigured using your SlingPlayer
software.
Reconfiguring your Slingbox after resetting it.
The steps are slightly different, depending on the type of computer you're using.
Reconfiguring with SlingPlayer for the PC
1.
With the Slingbox still connected to your network, go to the Slingbox menu
and select Slingbox Directory.
2.
On the left side of the Slingbox Directory window, click the Slingbox that
was reset.
