You can also use the S-Video jack for Satellite
or Digital Cable. For more information see Video
Mode on page 10.
To connect an S-Video source:
• Plug an S-Video cable from the camera,
VCR, game machine or satellite/cable
receiver into the S-Video connection on the
back of the DKEC.
• Insert audio cables from the S-Video
device into the Audio In connections in the
back of the DKEC.
Connect Camera/VCR/Video Game
Using the DKEC Video Mode, you can monitor
another area of your home where a video
camera is installed, play a video game or view a
video tape in a VCR using a composite signal.
Since Video Mode supports both composite and
S-Video sources, you can toggle between the
two signals by repeatedly pressing the Video
mode button. For more information see Video
Mode on page 10.
NOTE:
At this time, Video mode supports only one
Audio source which will continue to play
when you toggle between Video signals.
To connect a composite source:
• Plug an RCA cable from a camera, VCR or
game machine into the Video In connection
on the back of the DKEC.
• Insert audio cables from the device into the
Audio In connections on the back of the
DKEC.
Connecting the fm Radio Antenna
You can use the DKEC to listen to your favorite
local FM radio stations in FM Radio Mode.
Enclosed with your DKEC FlipScreen is an FM
radio antenna.
To connect the fm Antenna:
1. Make sure the DKEC unit is powered off by
checking the LED on the front of the unit –
it should be black and unlit. The power can
be turned off using the red rocker switch on
the back of the unit.
2. Remove the antenna from the DKEC
packaging
3. Attach the antenna by screwing it onto the
fm Antenna coaxial socket on the back of
the screen.
Connecting to the Internet
The DKEC supports three types of Internet
connectivity using a PCMCIA Network card.
Depending upon which type of card is used, you
can connect using:
• Wired (Ethernet) Broadband. Your
broadband service may be provided over
DSL or cable modem.
• Wireless (802.11b) Broadband. This
requires a wireless network.
• Dial-Up Internet Access. The dial-up
Internet services must not require the
installation of additional software.
Wired Broadband Connectivity
Your DKEC accessories box includes a PCMCIA
Network card which supports an Ethernet
connection to a DSL or cable modem. Because
the DKEC 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, with the card’s
label facing toward the center of the
device, into the PCMCIA slot on the back
of the DKEC.
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
8 for more information.
Wireless Broadband Connectivity
There are two ways to connect the DKEC to
your wireless network:
• Using an approved wireless PCMCIA
Network card; or,
• Using a wireless bridge connected to the
ethernet PCMCIA card.
Because the DKEC uses the Windows CE .NET
platform, we cannot ensure the compatibility
of all wireless network cards. Please contact
customer support for a current list of supported
wireless PCMCIA networking cards.
To connect using a wireless pCmCIA card:
1. Insert a wireless networking card, with the
label facing the center of the device, into
the PCMCIA slot on the back of the DKEC.
• Further configuration settings are
required to connect to your wireless
network. See Configuring a Wireless
Connection on page 8.
To connect using a wireless bridge:
1. Insert the included networking card into the
PCMCIA slot on the back of the DKEC.
2. Connect the wireless bridge to your home
PC and configure it following the directions
provided by the manufacturer of the bridge.
3. When the wireless bridge is properly
configured for your wireless network,
disconnect it from your home PC.
4. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the
bridge, and one end 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
9 for more information.
Dial-Up Connectivity:
To connect to a dial-up Internet provider, you will
need to use a PCMCIA modem card equipped
with an RJ-11 phone jack.
NOTE:
The DKEC does not currently support any
ISps that require downloading or installing
software. At the time of the printing of this
manual, AOL is an example of an ISp that
will not work with the DKEC because of
their download requirements, although you
can still retrieve AOL mail using the DKEC
Internet browser.
To connect using a Dial-Up connection:
1. Insert the modem card, with the card’s
label facing toward the center of the
device, into the PCMCIA slot on the back
of the DKEC.
2. Plug the analog telephone line into RJ-11
jack on the modem card.
• Further configuration is required. See
Configuring a Dial-Up Connection on
page 9.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the DKEC to a digital phone
line. Severe damage can occur to the DKEC.
Digital Versus Analog phone Lines
Two types of phone lines are commonly
available: analog and digital. Most homes are
wired with analog phone lines. Digital lines
are usually found in commercial and industrial
sites. However, newer homes, apartments, and
condominiums may be prewired with high-speed
digital phone lines.
All modems, including that in a PCMCIA
networking card, require an analog phone line.
Connecting a modem to a digital line will cause
permanent damage to the modem.
To determine which type of line you have, look
at the phone line connector. An analog phone
connector is terminated with 2 or 4 copper
wires. A digital connector is terminated with
6 or 8 copper wires. If you cannot determine
for certain which type of phone line you have,
contact your phone service provider.
If You have a Digital phone Line
In commercial buildings, apartment buildings,
and condominiums, digital phone lines usually
come from a telephone switch or PBX located
in the building. These telephone switches will
also support analog phone lines. The telephone
system administrator may be able to arrange
for an analog phone line to be brought to your
location from the local telephone switch.
If you live in a house wired with a digital line,
you can arrange with your phone company to
have an analog line brought into your home.
In addition, many digital phone manufacturers
offer inexpensive adapters that plug into the
digital phone line and convert it to an analog
line. These adapters usually work best at lower
modem speeds.
