Check the:

NETWORK NAME (SSID)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

and

ENCRYPTION KEY

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

of your wireless network

1Check your existing wireless network settings so you are able to enter them in STEP 7 of this procedure.

Find out the wireless network name (SSID) and the encryption key you used for securing your wireless network.

Wireless Network Name (SSID):

Usually, you can find the wireless network name in the options menu of your Wireless Network Adapter or Wireless Base Station.To check this, open the program that came with your network adapter.

Encryption key:

The wireless encryption key is a 64 or 128 bit WEP code that secures your wireless network communications.

64-bit: 5 characters ASCII, or 10 characters HEX, or

128 bit: 13 characters ASCII, or 26 characters HEX.

Note:The encryption key is case sensitive, meaning that ‘ABC’ is not the same as ‘aBc’. Always input characters in the correct case to avoid problems.

Basically, you will have to try and remember what you set it to. If you cannot remember the encryption key, you will either have to disable it completely for your entire wireless network, or set a new one that you can remember.

2Make sure the Philips Media Manager you installed in chapter 1 is active. Double-click the Media Manager icon in the lower right corner of your monitor or click Start / Programs / Philips Media Manager.

Leave the Media Manager window open to be sure it is active.

3Put the batteries into the remote control.

See ‘Remote Control - Placing batteries’ on page 28 in the extended User Manual on CD-ROM if you need more information on how to do this.
