Pinnacle PCTV TO GO PLAYER User Manual

PCTV To Go Network Configurations

• PCTV To Go supports the following network configurations:

– Scenario #1 - If you are using a wireless network connection from the computer you wish to

use to watch video from PCTV To Go, then DO NOT connect PCTV To Go to your network
with an Ethernet cable prior to running the Setup Wizard. Run Setup Wizard and Player from
a wireless PC.

– Scenario #2 - If you are using a wired network connection from the computer you wish to use

to watch video from PCTV To Go, then connect PCTV To Go to your network with an
Ethernet cable prior to running the Setup Wizard. Run Setup Wizard and Player from a wired
PC.

– Scenario #3 – If you have both wired and wireless clients, follow the steps for Scenario #1

(wireless). After local viewing is confirmed on a wireless client, you can run an Ethernet
cable from PCTV To Go to the LAN side of your router. Now wired clients can access local
viewing from PCTV To Go after installing the drivers and Player application. If you ever need
to run Setup Wizard again, do it from a wireless PC.

• Not supported:

– Local viewing is not supported for wired clients when PCTV To Go is connected only

wirelessly to the home network.

• The limitations described on the following pages apply to LOCAL viewing mode. As long as you
have an internet connection to your PC and sufficient bandwidth (300 kbps or greater) you should
be able to use REMOTE viewing mode from any PC with the drivers and player software installed

- whether within your home or halfway around the world.
