Setting to Watch TV or Video Away from Home

You need to complete the NetAV check before you go out.

Make sure that the NET AV LED (LF-V30) or the SETUP MODE/NETAV LED (LF-B20/LF-B10) goes off. If it is lit, you need to perform the NetAV check.

zTip

LF-V30/LF-B20/LF-B10 have the automatic NetAV check function. However, you can also perform the NetAV check manually from the [Base Station Settings] page on the Base Station. The NetAV check tests the setting of your Base Station and your router to watch video away from home.

Open the [Base Station Settings] screen on your PSP® system, and then select [NetAV Check], referring to "Base Station Settings" (1page 25).

If NetAV Check is Incomplete

Read the instructions on the NetAV Check screen and configure the necessary settings.

To complete the NetAV check without modifying the advanced settings such as the port forwarding setting for the router, the router must be UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) compatible and the UPnP function of the router must be enabled. Refer to the instructions supplied with your router and confirm the settings.

If your router is not UPnP compatible, you prefer not to use the UPnP function of the router, or if you tried to use the UPnP function but the setup was unsuccessful, port forwarding needs to be set on the router.

The settings for port forwarding may vary depending on the router in use. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with your router.

zTips

•Port forwarding is a function that allows network communications with your router to be forwarded directly to your network device (such as a PC or a PSP® system). It may also be called "Port Mapping", "Address Change" or other names. To connect to the LocationFree® Base Station from outside your home using port forwarding, you must adjust the settings for the router to allow the data connection received by the router over the Internet to get through to the Base Station port (initial setting: 5026 (LF-V30), 5024 (LF-B20/LF-B10)).

•It is necessary to set the Base Station’s IP address to activate the port forwarding setting on the router. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with your router and the Operating Instructions supplied with the Base Station.

•Some UPnP-compatible routers are only compatible with specific messenger services and games. For such a router, set port forwarding.
