Chapter 2 Connecting Your System

 

 

2.1 Cabling Your System

 

 
1. 

Connect the HDMI cable supplied into the interface marked HDMI on 

 

your media unit and the other end into a HDMI socket on your TV.

 

2. 

Connect your Ethernet cable from the media to a free port on your 
router/modem.* 

3. 

It is highly recommended that you plug the power supply into the unit 
last of all. 

 

It is 

strongly recommended 

that you use an Ethernet connection rather than a 

wireless connection to your router. If the cable will not reach the location of your 
router, then a longer cable can be purchased, or a powerline Ethernet adapter 
that will use your household electrical wiring to establish the connection can be 
purchased via our website www.triotechgroup.com. 

 
If you do decide to use a wireless connection, configuration details are give in section 2.4
