Connecting Streamium MC-i250 to your home network

For wireless operation (WiFi, 802.11b)

1If there is no networking cable plugged into the set at the first setup, you will be asked whether you want to use wired (Ethernet) or wireless (WiFi) operation. Choose Wireless. For any further connection, the set will start up in the operation mode last used. This setting can be changed at any later point in time in the

‘SET OPTIONS’ menu under ‘SELECT NETWORK’.

2You will be asked to choose between ‘Infrastructure’ or ‘Ad-hoc’ operation mode. If you want to use a wireless access point (Infrastructure mode - recommended), select accordingly. If you select “NO”, MC-i250 will try to establish a direct connection to a wireless network adapter (Ad-hoc mode).

3You will be asked to enter the network name (ESSID). Enter this case-sensitive name, using the remote control.

4You will be asked to select the network channel number. If you use an access point (infrastructure mode), choose the used channel or type in “0” for automatic detection. This process will take a short while. If you do not use a wireless access point (Ad-hoc mode), use the soft keys to select the used channel.

5 You can choose to use WEP encryption.

If you choose ‘YES’, you will be asked to enter

up to four encryption keys.The first key will be

used as the outgoing key.The outgoing key can

be defined at any later point in time in the

‘SET OPTIONS’ menu under ‘ENCRYPT

CONFIG’.

Notes:

– All the characters shown on the system’s display

screen are in capital letter. The case-sensitive is

determined by the size of character, for example

“e” will be shown as “E” in a smaller size.

– You can use ASCII or HEX encryption keys, but

all have to be the same length.

– When the wireless connection is established, you

still might have to configure the network settings

(please see network settings of wired operation).
