Wireless and Powerline Networking
The Kaleidescape server must be connected to the Internet to receive
software updates and updates from the Movie and Music Guides, and to
notify Kaleidescape if service is required.
Although the reliability of a wired Internet connection is preferred, in some
situations the most practical option is an Internet connection using one of
the following technologies:
• Wireless LAN
• Powerline communication
Wireless networks use radio frequencies to communicate without wires.
Powerline networks carry data over a conductor also used for electric power
transmission.
When picking up or moving the Mini System, grasp the bottom of
the system with two hands. Do NOT lift by the plastic side panels.
