D2730 Networked DVD Player
:: Step 1 - Set Up Your Network
Your networked DVD player can function with either:
• A Microsoft
 Windows  -based home network, or
• A direct connection between your PC and the back of the DVD player with an Ethernet crossover cable.
If you do not already have a network installed, you will need to purchase the network components of your choice and follow the installation
instructions provided by the manufacturer. The D2730 easily connects to all three major types of home networks, including:
Wired Ethernet Network
• Devices communicate with each other using Ethernet cables (following the
802.3 standard).
• A network card is included with your DVD player to easily connect the
D2730 to any open router port, hub or switch on your network.
Wireless Access Point
• Devices communicate with each other over the air (following the 802.11b
standard).
• This type of network requires a wireless access point to send data to your net-
worked DVD player. You will need to purchase a wireless adapter card in
order to connect to this type of network.
• Wireless adapter cards default to infrastructure mode.
Wireless Peer-to-Peer
• Devices communicate with each other over the air (following the 802.11b
standard).
• Peer-to-Peer networks consist of two or more wireless computers that com-
municate without a wireless access point. You will need to purchase a wire-
less adapter card in order to connect to this type of network.
• The wireless adapter cards in a peer-to-peer network must be set to ad hoc
mode instead of infrastructure mode.
Confirm Your Network is Working
Do not proceed to Step 2 until you have confirmed that your home network is setup and working properly.
