What is the LocationFree Base Station?
®
What is LocationFree ?
®
LocationFree allows you to watch TV programs or recorded video from any room in your home, or
even away from home. You can stream video from a Base Station connected to a DVD recorder (or other
video device) to a device such as a computer or PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) via a wireless network or
the Internet.
You can also operate the video device (e.g., record/playback/stop) through on-screen remote control.
®
What is the LocationFree Base Station?
®
The functions of the LocationFree Base Station
®
®
To make use of LocationFree , you need a device called the LocationFree Base Station. If you connect
video devices such as a DVD Recorder or a set-top box to the Base Station, it will be able to stream the
®
video content over the wireless network to LocationFree client devices. With the Base Station placed
in a living room in your house, you can then enjoy video from anywhere in your home, on your computer
®
®
with the LocationFree Player, or on other client devices which have the LocationFree client feature.
®
You can also watch video while you are away from home, by connecting the LocationFree Base Station
LF-V30 to the Internet via a router. You can make a connection over the Internet from your computer to
®
your LocationFree Base Station LF-V30, via a hotspot (a public wireless access point, such as can be
found in cafes) or a 3G network. The Base Station LF-V30 will provide you with the video content from
video devices connected to the Base Station, wherever you are.
®
Finally, if you do not have a home wireless network, you can use the LocationFree Base Station LF-
V30 as a wireless access point for your home, so you can connect your computer or other devices to a
home wireless network. If you have a home wireless network already, you can connect your Base Station
to your home wireless network.
®
What you can do with the LocationFree Base Station
®
z You can stream the video content from video devices connected to the Base Station to LocationFree
client devices.

z Tips
Notes
• Do not connect your PC directly with a Base Station
with a LAN cable.
• You may not be able to watch some video, DVDs,
and other media that are copyright protected with the
software.
• When the power is turned on, the Base Station
continuously emits a wireless signal.
• To use the NetAV function, we recommend a
broadband connection with upload and download
speeds of at least 300 kbps.
• The wireless mode of the LocationFree® Base
Station LF-V30 is set to Access Point mode at the
time of purchase, and you can select either the 2.4
GHz or 5 GHz frequency band in the mode.
• The LocationFree® Base Station LF-V30 streams on
the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless channels. If other
devices in the vicinity emit electrical waves, such as
a wireless LAN device or microwave oven, the
strength of the wireless signal may decrease. The
materials used in the construction of a building’s
walls and floors may also affect the signal strength.
• When you set the wireless mode to the Client, the
Base Station streams on the 2.4 GHz wireless
channel.
• NetAV cannot be used via a proxy server.
• When using NetAV, the Base Station, router, and
connected devices at home also need to be left on
when you are away from home so that you can
connect to them via the Internet.
• Use of the NetAV function for purposes other than
personal enjoyment is prohibited.

About Wireless LAN Security of the
Base Station
The Base Station supports security functions
[WEP], [WPA-PSK (TKIP)] and [WPA2-PSK
(AES)] in Access Point mode, and supports [No
Encryption], [WEP], [WPA-PSK (TKIP)],
[WPA-PSK (AES)], [WPA2-PSK (TKIP)] and

z WEP
Access Control
WEP is the wireless LAN security technology
specified by IEEE802.11. It applies encryption to
communications to prevent outsiders from
intercepting communications or intruding into
your wireless network. There are two types of
encryption key length: 64-bit key and 128-bit key.
The 128-bit encryption key assures a higher
security level. Because many wireless devices
support WEP conventionally, WEP has high
compatibility. However, a decryption technique
exists, so using the same encryption key for an
extended period of time is not recommended.
You can select whether to permit or deny access
to the [Base Station Setting] page from a device
that has a global IP address.
Usually, only devices that are in the same LAN
and have a private IP address can access the [Base
Station Settings] page. However, some routers
allow you to assign a global IP address to a
device, and if you do so, the device cannot access
the [Base Station Settings] page. If you want to
access the [Base Station Settings] page from a
device with a global IP address, you need to make
access control settings as follows.
z TKIP
TKIP is a security technology developed to
correct for the deficiencies of WEP.
z AES
AES is a security technology which uses an
advanced encryption method that is distinct from
WEP and TKIP. AES assures a higher security
level than WEP or TKIP.
