Chapter 3 - Enabling broadband Internet entertainment

If you have a broadband Internet connection (256 kbps preferred), you can stream Internet radio stations live from the Internet to the SL50i for free. Broadband internet also provides the on-line upgrades for the SL50i.

The Internet entertainment offering is constantly being improved and new functions are added.

3.1 How does your computer connect to the Internet?

Option A: Through a wireless base station:

Wireless base stations share their broadband Internet access automatically within the network.

>The SL50i will be able to access the Internet just like your other wireless or wired network computer(s).

Option B: Through the Internet, connected directly to your PC or via a wired router:

If you have a PC with a broadband Internet connection, you will have to make that Internet connection available to the wireless network that connects to the SL50i.

To do this, install router/gateway software on the PC for bridging the broadband Internet connection to the wireless or wired network.

As an example we have included a chapter on page 38-42 of the extended User Manual on the Philips Media Manager CD on how to enable Internet Connection Sharing from your Microsoft®Windows® operating system. For Microsoft® and other operating systems, third party router/gateway software is readily available on the market.

For more information on sharing an Internet connection, read the documentation that came with the software or with your operating system.

>After bridging the internet connection to your wireless (or wired) network, you will be able to use the SL50i to access the Internet just like your computer.
