Slingbox is a digital television controller that allows you to play your television's content remotely so that you can enjoy your favorite programming from any web-enabled device. Configuring a Slingbox for Ethernet use requires establishing a physical connection to your broadband modem or wireless router. This Ethernet configuration connects your Slingbox to the Internet so you may use it at your convenience.
Instructions
1. Use the composite audio and video cables included in your Slingbox package to connect the Slingbox to your television. Insert an end of both the composite audio and video cables into the appropriately colored ports on the back of your Slingbox. Insert the other ends into available ports on your television.
2. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable included in your Slingbox package into the Ethernet port on your Slingbox. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into an available outgoing port on your broadband modem or wireless router. This allows your Slingbox two-way access to your account information and associated devices.
3. Connect the Slingbox to power. Insert one end of the power adapter into the Slingbox power source port. Insert the other end into a power source such as a wall outlet or surge protector.
4. Log on to the Internet from your computer. Download and install SlingPlayer software from the SlingMedia Downloads link in the Resource section.
5. Open the SlingPlayer software to load its main menu.
6. Select the "Slingbox Directory" tab.
7. Choose your Slingbox from the list on the left side of the Slingbox Directory.
8. Select the "Edit" option on the right side of the Slingbox Directory.
9. Select "Slingbox Configuration" to open the Slingbox Setup Assistant wizard. Follow the wizard's onscreen instructions to complete your Slingbox Ethernet configuration. These will configure your Slingbox, SlingPlayer and home Ethernet connection.
