How to set up the WiFi connection between your WiFi router/AP and eStarling frame?

I. After you powered up your eStarling frame you will see the eStarling logo and the frame will start to search for a WiFi network.

II. For the first setup of your eStarling frame, the following message may show up (this step may take as long as 2 minutes)

III. Run the NETCONFIG utility downloaded from Step3 above. Choose “Scan for available WiFi network and setup manually�if you are running the NETCONFIG utility from a desktop or laptop PC which have WiFi enabled.

(Note: it is NOT recommended that you use the “Full manual setup�mode unless you know all the details of your WiFi network)

IV. The PC will scan for available WiFi network. Highlight your WiFi network and click “Next�

**************************************************************************************
NETCONFIG will jump to the last step directly if :

1) your PC is connected to the WEP encrypted network, NETCONFIG will automatically extract the encryption key from your PC

2) the selected network is of OPEN type, no encryption is implemented

Click “Configure Frame�to send the configuration data to your eStarling frame and go to step VI. To continue the setup process

************************************************************************************

V. NETCONFIG will detect the authentication mode (WEP or WPA) of your selected WiFi network and jump to the corresponding setup page accordingly.


- For WEP encrypted network, enter the WEP encryption key and choose the encryption mode (choose none for open network).
- For WPA encrypted network, enter the WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK) and the encryption key type (if you are not sure, try TKIP first as this is the most common type)
Click “Next�when completed.
VI. A summary of the WiFi network setting will be displayed on the left hand side. Please go through the setup procedure again if there is any error or click the “Configure Frame�button to send the configuration information to the eStarling frame. (the configuration data will be stored inside the config.sys file from the “system�folder of the eStarling frame.

**************************************************************************************
(Re. : click on “Advance setting�if you need to specify your own IP address settings. Click “OK�when you have finished the IP address settings. It is not recommended to setup the IP address settings manually unless you are familiar with your WiFi network).

******************************************************************************************
VII. It is important to disconnect the USB cable, power down the eStarling frame and power it up again.
(Re. : You will be reminded to unplug the USB cable from the eStarling frame and power off and on the eStarling frame again after you click the “Configure frame� button from the above step.


VIII. After the frame has been powered up again, it will search for the specified WiFi network automatically and if the setting is correct, you will see the frame displaying the following message (this may takes ~1min after the eStarling logo show up since you powered up the frame again). The six digits code in red is the registration code for your eStarling photo frame (XXXXXX is shown as an example only, every eStarling frame will have its own unique registration code)

IX. Pls go back to the webpage opened at Step3 above and click “Next�to start the registration procedure by entering the registration code. Once the registration has been completed, the following message will be displayed on the frame (time to be taken for the frame to display this message will vary depends on different connection environment and usually it takes no more than 2 min):

When this message pops up, your eStarling photo frame has been fully configured and ready for use.

X. If the eStarling frame cannot be connected to the specified WiFi network, the following message will be displayed after you see the eStarling logo (after ~1 min you powered up the frame from the above step). Pls verify the WiFi network settings and go through the setup procedure again.

If the eStarling Frame has been connected to the specified WiFi network but the network is not being connected to the Internet, the following message will be displayed. Please contact your ISP and check on the Internet connection to your WiFi network. Once the Internet connection has been re-established, the frame should automatically connect to the www.seeframe.com and provide you the six digitals registration code in red as above mentioned. Or, pls go through the Wifi connection setup procedure again.
