8 To avoid implementation problems we recommend using aWireless Access Point device (e.g. Philips CPWBS054) in combination with a wireless Ethernet bridge (also called a “Game adapter”). Wireless devices use a wireless protocol to communicate by means of radio waves.Wireless radio waves travel outwards from the antenna in all directions, and can transmit through walls and floors. Wireless radio waves can theoretically reach up to 100 meters in an open environment. Practically it could be less than 10 meters depending on the type of walls and floors in your home and other environmental conditions.The content playback quality will depend on the wireless signal quality and the connection type. Notes: • It is recommended to buy a Wireless Access Point supporting 802.11 a/b/g or b/g. The atype devices are idealfor transferring good video quality and the gtype devices are sufficient for good audio quality. The btype devices are not suitable for good video streaming. • Do not use an adhoc wireless connection (TVPC) as it limits your bandwidth. If you have problems or questions or if you feel you don’t have sufficient knowledge about PC connectivity and PC networking, please contact your PC or TV retailer to assist you. Always tr y to reduce the number of wireless connections. You will in most cases not be able to stream video if both PC and TV are connected wireless to the network.

9 Configuring a wireless Ethernet bridge Make sure DHCP/Auto IP (automatic network addressing) is enabled on ALL your network devices (Wireless Access Point, PCs). Note: Nowadays the functionality of a Wireless Access Point and a router are mostly combined into one box. If this is not the case, the installation may slightly differ from the instructions below. &Enable DHCP/Auto IP on ALL your PCs. You can check this on your PC with the network identification tool. See Tools, Network Utility on the supplied CD. If DHCP/Auto IP is not enabled, see Annex 4, p. 14 to enable DHCP/Auto IP on your PC. éEnable DHCP/Auto IP on your Wireless Access Point, see the user manual of your router. Preparing your network &First check and write down the settings of your Wireless Access Point.You need the SSID,WEPkey(s) or WPA key(s). Note: It is possible that your WEP or WPA keys are hidden. éTosimplify the configuration proceduretemporarily remove the security of your wireless network (if enabled). Consult the user manual of your Wireless Access Point to make the following settings: • Switch on the SSID broadcast. •Switch off wireless security (WEP/WPA keys). • Switch off MAC filtering. Note: Also switch off the wireless security (WEP/WPA keys) of your wireless PC driver. Network name (SSID): WEP key 1: WEP key 2: WEP key 3: WEP key 4: WPA key: Downloaded From TVManual.com Manuals
10 Configuring the wireless Ethernet bridge &Disconnect your PC from your network. • In case of a wireless USB dongle, remove the dongle from your PC. • In case of an integrated wireless network adapter (e.g. laptop PC), disable the network adapter. • In case your PC has a wired connection, unplug the Ethernet cable from your PC. éConnect the wireless Ethernet bridge to your PC. “Consult the user manual supplied with the wireless Ethernet bridge to configure your device. The following settings need to be applied: • Password (see access point documentation) Note: Do not change any passwords at this time.•Infrastructure (access point) mode • SSIDname of your wireless network • DHCP/Auto IP enabled • Security encryption disabled If your PC can connect to the Internet using a web browser,the wireless Ethernet bridge is configured correctly. Notes: After configuring your wireless Ethernet bridge you may need to wait a while before the connection is active.You may even have to restart the bridge. How to restart the bridge, consult the user manual of the bridge.The user manual will also explain the meaning of the different indicators ( LEDs) on your bridge and howthey should behave after powering the bridge. If you don’t succeed to browse the Internet using your wireless Ehternet bridge, please contact the retailer of the bridge (instead of Philips). ‘Disconnect your wireless Ethernet bridge from the PC and connect it to the NETWORKconnection at the bottom of your TV. (Reconnect your PC to your network. Testing the wireless Ethernet bridge &Make sure the wireless Ethernet bridge is connected to the NETWORKconnection at the bottom of your TV. éSwitch on your TV. “See “Testing your connection” on p. 9.

11 Resecuring your wireless network Also see Annex 2:Wireless network security, p. 12. &Consult the user manual of your Wireless Access Point to apply its security setting according to the details you wrote down earlier. • Switch off the SSID broadcast. • Switch on wireless security (WEP/WPA keys). Note: If you don’t have your WEP/WPA keys you will need to create new ones and apply them to all wireless devices connected to your wireless network. éDisconnect your PC from your network. • In case of a wireless USB dongle, remove the dongle from your PC. • In case of an integrated wireless network adapter (e.g. laptop PC), disable the network adapter. • In case your PC has a wired connection, unplug the Ethernet cable from your PC. “Connect the wireless Ethernet bridge to your PC. ‘Consult the user manual supplied with the wireless Ethernet bridge to configure your device according to your current wireless network settings. If your PC can connect to the Internet using a web browser, the wireless Ethernet bridge is configured correctly.

12 DO • Viruses, spyware and other malicious programs can undermine the security of your network. Use the appropriate software to protect your PC from these threats. • Change the default passwords for your network devices. Leaving these at default makes it easy for an outsider to gain access. Note: If you change passwords, write them down and store them in a safe location. • Use a router or a Wireless Access Point with Network Address Translation (NAT) or a firewall. • In a wireless network, enable the highest WEP key level that your hardware provides for. Upgrade your hardware, if possible. If you do not protect your wireless network, all data from your PC might be accessible to, for example, your neighbours or passersby. • Switch off SSID broadcast on the Wireless Access Point. •Position your Wireless Access Point away from windows and towards the centre of your home. This decreases the strenght of the signal outside your home. • Some access points can control access based on the unique MAC address of the network devices trying to connect to it. See the documentation ofyour network devices to retrievethe MAC addresses. For the MAC address of your TV, see Annex 3, Manual Network Installation,View Network settings, p.13. DON’T • Don’t rely on radio transmission range limitations to secure your network. •Don’t use WEP/WPA keys and passwords that are easy to guess. • Don’t use passphrases to secure your wireless network as incompatibility with other brands of wireless network devices mayoccur. Annex 2 : Wireless network security Attention Since wireless computer networks use radio signals, it is possible for other wireless network devices outside your immediate area to pick up the wireless signals and either connect to your network or to capture the network traffic. Consult the user manual supplied with your wireless Access point or wireless Ethernet bridge for further information. Downloaded From TVManual.com Manuals

Enter the same subnet mask throughout your network, e.g. 225.225.255.0 Annex 3 : Configuring your network settings manually DHCP/Auto IPor automatic network addressing is a protocol used to automatically connect networkdevices to a network. Please, refer to your router or wireless access point’s hardware instructions to see if this is supported. Static (or fixed) IP address: This is an IP address that your TV will always use to connectto your home network.When DHCP/Auto IP is not available, you can set a static IP address on your TV. A Subnet maskis used to define a subnet which is separated from all other networks by a router. The subnet mask indicates which part of the IP address is on the local network, and which must go out through the router.
