Getting Started
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 con-
nection is established when you first go to Internet Mode, see
Configuring a Wired Broadband Connection on page 27 for more
information.
Wireless Broadband Connectivity
There are two ways to connect the iCEBOX to your wireless network:
• Using an approved wireless PCMCIA Network card; or,
• Using a wireless bridge connected to the ethernet PCMCIA card.
Because the iCEBOX uses the Windows CE .NET platform, we cannot
ensure the compatibility of all wireless network cards. Please contact cus-
tomer support for a current list of supported wireless PCMCIA networking
cards.
To connect using a wireless PCMCIA card
1. Insert a wireless networking card into the PCMCIA slot on the back of
the iCEBOX (See Figure 5).
• Further configuration settings are required to connect to your wireless
network. See Configuring a Wireless Connection on page 28.
To connect using a wireless bridge
1. Insert the included networking card into the PCMCIA slot on the back
of the iCEBOX (See Figure 5).
2. Connect the wireless bridge to your home PC and configure it follow-
ing the directions provided by the manufacturer of the bridge.
3. When the wireless bridge is properly configured for your wireless net-
work, 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 con-
nection is established when you first go to Internet Mode, see
Configuring a Wired Broadband Connection on page 27 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 iCEBOX 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 iCEBOX because of their download requirements, although
you can still retrieve AOL mail using the iCEBOX Internet browser.
