Using the UWF-1
A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a local area network that
relies on wireless communication.
To achieve a wireless network connection, you will
need the following components:
❑
Access point
Also known as the base station, it links your network-
capable AV receiver (wireless client) with a PC or
network. Access points fall into two categories: the
bridge type that only performs data relay in a local
area network, or the router type that has a built-in
router functionality.
❑
Wireless adapters
Sometimes known as dongles, wireless adapters are
extension devices that provide wireless network
functionality when connected to a PC. There are
several types of adapters, including PC cards and USB
adapters. Connecting the UWF-1 wireless adapter to
the USB port of a network-capable AV receiver lets
you use your AV receiver as a wireless client (wireless
terminal) and connect it to a PC or to the Internet.
Compatible with new-series (TX-NRxx9 and higher)
Onkyo AV receivers. For further details, visit the
Onkyo web site. You can find the home page address
on the back of this manual.
To achieve a wireless network connection, it is
necessary to perform the wireless LAN setup. The
setup can be done either automatically or manually.
Note
• Do not connect any other wireless adapter than the UWF-
1 to the USB port of your network-capable AV receiver, as
other wireless USB adapters are not supported.
• Depending on your connection and the AV
receiver’s functionality, menus won’t be displayed
on screen. In this case, use the AV receiver’s display
to make the settings.
• The wording of displayed items varies according to
the AV receiver’s functionality.
Tip
• Press RETURN to go back one screen.
