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.
