CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER NETWORK
NETWORK CONNECTION
An RJ45 socket is provided on the rear panel of the unit
to enable connection to the Internet via a computer
network.
This connection is not essential, but if you connect
the unit to the Internet advanced features such as
OTT access and software upgrade via the Internet will
become available.
The connection must be wired. There is no wireless
networking built-in. To make this connection your
home network will require an ‘always on’ connection to
the Internet so you will need access to a spare port on
the network modem/router.
The illustration shows the connection arrangements
found on a typical modem/router.
Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable of suitable length •
(not supplied) to the NETWORK port on the back
panel.
Connect the other end of the cable to a free port on •
your modem/router.
