ADVANCE: Making Use of NetAV
This section describes how to set up the NetAV
server on the base station and the NetAV client on
the monitor.
While you are away from home with your
monitor, you can connect it to your base station
via the Internet, enjoy TV, and control the VCR or
the DVD player in your home. This is the
“NetAV” function.
By connecting it to a public wireless access, you
can enjoy NetAV at a cafe via the Internet. You
can also enjoy NetAV at a hotel by connecting it
to the Internet via wired LAN.
Notes
• To use NetAV, you must perform the following
settings beforehand on the base station, router, and
other peripheral devices. Without configuring the
necessary settings, you will not be able to use the
NetAV function when you take the monitor away
from home.
• You cannot use NetAV when connected to the
Internet via an analog phone line that uses a dial-up
router.
Connecting to the Internet using the
NetAV function
Configuring the monitor settings allows you to
connect to the Internet using the NetAV function
from a wireless or wired LAN away from home.
NetAV settings must be configured when
connecting by either Wireless or Wired LAN. In
addition, when connecting wirelessly you must
configure [Wireless Monitor Settings], and when
connecting by Wired LAN you must configure
[Wired Monitor Settings].
Notes
• When using NetAV, the base station power must be
turned on.
• You must set up NetAV in advance while you are at
home and the monitor has a wireless connection to
the base station (Home-Wireless mode). If you
cannot connect to the base station in Home-Wireless
mode while away from home, you cannot change the
base station settings.
z Tips
• NetAV transmits video via the Internet. Currently,
we recommend the network throughput higher than
300 kbps (both uploading and downloading). If the
connection speed is too slow, the picture and sound
may cut out or be affected by noise, etc.
• Because the monitor does not have a PPPoE
function, you may need to configure the router
settings when using the monitor at a location other
than your home.
• If a firewall is set, you cannot use NetAV.
Line types not supported by NetAV
• Analog phone line using a dial-up router
• Cellular phones
Some other line types may not allow you to
connect with NetAV because of restrictions
imposed by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or
the connection devices in use.
