ConnectingUsing a router to ReplayTVconnect ReplayTVtotoayourCablecableModemmodem is recommended. The router will allow you to share your cable modem without needing additional IP addresses from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Also, your ISP may require that you log on or use special software on your PC in order to access the Internet. Consult your ISP for requirements. Refer to the following connec- tion examples for details.
1 | Use a recommendedto | routerthat your ISP supports and | |
| connect it directly to your cable modem. (See “Recom- | ||
| mended Routers” on page 15.) If you have | ||
| router, you will also need hub or a switch to connect | ||
| more than one device to the router. Verify that the router | ||
| is configured properly for ReplayTV. See “Configuring | ||
| Ports for Sending Recordings” on page 16. | ||
2 | Turn | your router. Refer to the router’s user guide to | |
| set up the router. The default configuration of the router | ||
| is normally sufficient. By default, most routers have | ||
| DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enabled | ||
| for automatically assigning IP addresses. | ||
3 | You can connect | directly to the router, or to a | |
| hub or switch that is connected to the router. Refer to | ||
| “ |
| to an Existing Network” on |
| page 12 to complete the setup. | ||
