Connecting the Extender to the Network

The Extender is normally ready for use and does not need to be configured. The settings need only
be adjusted in case you wish to operate the Extender with a fixed IP-address, or if there is more
than one Extender in the Pronto Network.
Note Before you start using or configuring the Extender, check if any firmware updates are available
in the Downloads section on www.pronto.philips.com.
Refer to the chapter 'Firmware Update' on page 12 for further details.

Using the Extender

1
Connect the Extender to the
router with a straight Ethernet
cable.
2
Set the Extender ID switch to 1 or to an ID that is not yet used by another Extender in
the Pronto Network.
3
Set the Configuration switch to 1 for use:
4
Plug in the Extender's power adapter.
The Extender will start up. After startup, the Power and Ethernet LEDs are green. The Busy LED
blinks green when it's processing a code or a macro.

Configuring the Extender

You can connect the Extender directly to the PC for configuration.
If the Extender is already installed and connected to external equipment, it is also possible to
configure it through a router. For further instructions, refer to the topic 'Configuration through a
router' on page 10.
Tip To ensure optimal performance, use a dedicated network for all Pronto communication. This
makes the Pronto Network independent of other networks and changes in network settings.
