Congratulations on your purchase of the [NeonSTB], your gateway to the
Internet.
We know many of you would like to jump right in and use your [NeonSTB] to surf
the Internet, but before you do this you must do the following two things. First,
you must connect the Neon STB to your television and phone line. Second, you
must subscribe to an Internet Service Provider, or an “ISP”. This can be any ISP
that supports PPP and PAP protocols (don’t worry, most do). If you don’t have
an ISP subscription or aren’t sure what an ISP is, please see
Appendix D – ISPs
to help you get started. We also recommend that you read
Appendix A –
Introduction to the Internet
. This section will give you an idea of what the
Internet is and what you do with it.
[NeonSTB] features
The [NeonSTB] provides the best features the Internet has to offer. These
include: web browsing, electronic mail (or e-mail), multimedia and printer support.
The [NeonSTB] has a web browser built in which allows you access to web
pages, where you can find useful information no matter what your interest:
education, community, activities, sports, science, gaming, and much more. For
more information about how to browse the web, see
Chapter 3 – Web
Browsing
.
The [NeonSTB] also supports e-mail, so you can send and receive electronic
messages to anyone who has an Internet e-mail address, anywhere in the world
– without a pen, piece of paper, or a stamp. Best of all, the message can be
received within seconds. To learn how to use e-mail, see
Chapter 4 –
Electronic Mail
.
You can also attach speakers to the [NeonSTB] to fully experience the built-in
audio capabilities. Connecting a printer to the built-in port allows you to print out
web pages, pictures, and e-mail messages. See
Chapter 1 -- Connections
to
learn more about how to connect the [NeonSTB] to speakers, printers and other
accessories. See
Chapter 3 – Web Browsing
to learn more about how to use a
printer with your [NeonSTB].
