Connection
Here, you enter or edit the following information in order to connect to your Slingbox:
•
Slingbox Alias
Here, you enter the alias for your Slingbox. An alias is the name that appears
in the Slingbox Directory. You can name your Slingbox according to where
it’s located in your house, for example. The alias that you type in here may
be the same as or different from your Slingbox’s name. If you have more
than one Slingbox, you can use aliases to help you distinguish between
Slingboxes with similar names.
•
Password
Enter your password here. By default, the password that you enter is
assumed to be your user password. If you want to log in as Administrator,
select the checkbox.
You also chose a method to connect to your Slingbox:
•
Slingbox ID
Each individual Slingbox comes with its own unique Slingbox ID. Enter it
here if you are viewing remotely.
•
Direct Connection
If you’d rather use a domain name or IP address rather than the Slingbox ID,
choose this option. Next, enter the domain name or IP address and the port
number here. The port number is usually 5001.
