Connecting to the
Internet
The iCEBOX supports three types of Internet connectivity using a PCMCIA
Network card. Depending upon which type of card is used, you can con-
nect using:
• Wired (Ethernet) Broadband. Your broadband service may be pro-
vided over DSL or cable modem.
• Wireless (802.11b) Broadband.
• Dial-Up Internet Access. The dial-up Internet services must not require
the installation of additional software.
Wired Broadband Connectivity
Your iCEBOX accessories box includes a PCMCIA Network card which
supports an Ethernet connection to a DSL or cable modem. Because the
iCEBOX uses the Windows CE .NET platform, we cannot ensure that an
alternate network card will work. Please contact customer support for a
current list of alternate supported cards.
The following instructions assume that your DSL/cable modem and home
network are already installed and configured. For more detailed Internet
Connection information, refer to the Installation Manual.
To connect using a Wired Broadband (DSL or cable modem)
connection
1.
Insert the networking card into the PCMCIA slot on the back of the iCE-
BOX (fig. 4).
2. Insert an Ethernet cable from your home network into the Ethernet jack
on the PCMCIA card.
• In most cases, no further connection settings are required. If no
connection is established when you first go to Internet Mode, see
Configuring a Wired Broadband Connection on page 33 for
more information.
