NetAV
NetAV is the name of the process that is used to transmit video output from the Base Station to a LocationFree®
client device such as the PSP
using a public wireless LAN service such as a hotspot.
Routers
A router is a type of network device that allows users to connect multiple PCs or other devices for simultaneous
access to the Internet using a single Internet connection. DSL modems and other network devices often include the
same functions as a router. For details about how to use your router, please refer to its instructions.
UPnP
UPnP, short for "Universal Plug and Play", is a system that allows users to connect devices such as PCs and audio/
video equipment to each other via a network. To access your Base Station and view TV or video on the PSP
system from outside the home, it is recommended that you use a router that supports UPnP.
If you use a router that does not support UPnP, you will need to enter advanced settings for the Base Station and
the LocationFree® Player (1 page 24, 1 page 25). To determine whether your router is UPnP compatible, refer
to the instructions supplied with your router.
