To block intruders from “piggybacking” on your
connection, and optimize data speeds, establish
basic security settings on TracNet 100, even if you
are using MSN TV. Just run the router setup wizard,
which walks you through the process step-by-step.
From MSN TV Sign In Page: Go to Settings>Choose
Connection Setting>Configure Router. Then select
IP address 192.168.0.1 and select Access Router.
From a PC, enter http://192.168.0.1 in the browser.
When finished, turn the receiver off then back on.
Refer to Section 4.3 of the
User’s Guide
for details.
Mount the receiver in a dry, well-ventilated area
away from heat sources or electrical devices that
generate RF noise (e.g., microwave, plasma TV, or
motor). Do not block the receiver’s vents. Ensure
both front/back panels are accessible to the user.
1. Attach the two mounting brackets to the
receiver’s side vents using #2-56 screws.
2. Secure the brackets to the mounting surface
using appropriate 1⁄4" fasteners.
If you experience a problem with the TracNet 100
system, first check the following:
• Check the signal strength bars on the MSN TV
screen. If you have no bars, you are outside the
coverage area of the nearest cell tower.
• Check the batteries in the remote or keyboard.
• Check the connections on the receiver rear panel.
• If you are using a computer, check the
computer’s network connection (enabled?).
