Network Settings
Tip Make sure that you have your Wireless Access Point (WAP) settings information at
hand. You will need this information in the following screens.
If you’re unfamiliar with network terminology, consult the ‘Glossary’ on page 60.
Attention! Most wireless devices can also operate in peer-to-peer mode. This means
that there is a direct wireless communication link between two communicating devices
without intervention of a Wireless Access Point. If you have set up devices in
peer-to-peer mode, we strongly recommend that you make your wireless home network
operate with a Wireless Access Point (WAP) and that you disable all peer-to-peer links.
1 Indicate whether you use the RC9800i with a wireless network or not.
■ If not, choose No and click Next. The screen ‘Date & Time Settings’ will
appear. In this case proceed with the setup on page 17.
Tip In the event that you have a wireless network set up in your home, choose Yes,
even if you do not use the RC9800i to control other networked devices. This way,
if you want, the RC9800i can retrieve date and time information from dedicated
time servers on the Internet, see ‘Date & Time Settings’ beginning on page 17.
■ If you do use the RC9800i with a wireless network, choose Yes and click
Next.
A screen with the current network connection status will appear.

connection status or not.

The screen ‘Date & Time Settings’ will appear. In this case proceed with the
setup on page 17.
■ If you want to connect to another network or alter the network settings,
choose Change.
The screen ‘RC9800i Network Settings’ will appear.
