WiFi Setup

Selecting “WIFI Setup” generates the WiFi Setup screen. For more information concerning the settings in the WIFI Setup screen, see “Setting Up the Wireless Connection” on page 15.

Here, the user enters the wireless information needed to connect the Player to the computer. After making one or more changes in the Options screen, navigate to the bottom of the screen, highlight “Save,” and press Enter on the remote to implement and save the changes made.

SSID - Enter the SSID (Service Set Identifier), or name, of the wireless network to which the Player connects in the “SSID” text box by highlighting the text box, then entering the name using the alphanumeric key- pad on the remote.

Connection - To create an ad hoc (computer- to-computer) wireless network, highlight the box next to “Direct to a computer (ad-hoc)” and press Enter on the remote to place an “x” there. When this box is inactive (no “x” appears), the Player is set to join an existing wireless network.

WEP - To activate WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) secu-

rity on the Player’s computer-to-computer network, highlight the box next to either “64-bit” or “128-bit” and press Enter on the remote. Then, highlight the “WEP key” text box and enter the hexadecimal key using the alphanumeric key- pad on the remote. The computer connecting to the Player must be set up with the same type of WEP and WEP key to communicate wirelessly with it.

If joining an existing wireless network that requires WEP security authentica- tion, select the type of WEP and enter the key in the WEP key text box.
