I am thinking about buying an iPronto, but I do not know what all the extra's are that I would need to get it up and running?

Can someone please let me know how they got theirs to work and also a few tips on how to get it running at peak performance?

Thanks in advance,
MAX

Any help will be more than appreciated!
please make a list.

1. Internet access
2. iPronto
3.
4.

and so on... I would like to buy the remote soon, so anyone with one already please tell me what you used to have it programmed. And also what type of router you are using.

Thanks again.

Come on guys, 18 views and no one has an answer for me? someone has to know all the equipment needed to get the iPronto up and running.

Thanks,
MAX

Max,

I strongly advise you to read the information at
[Link: pronto.philips.com]

I use a Wireless Lan with access-point (f.i. 3Com access point 8000, http://www.3com.com/)

Pretty straight forward.
1)DSL or cable Internet line. Can be done with modem but a pain).
2)802,11b or g wireless router. Again can be done with a simple access point but a pain. Recommend Linksys.
3)iPronto :)
4)ipronto edit :)
5)Latest updates from philips.
6) RF extender module if you need RF.
Thats it! If you have used Prontos before the rest is pretty straight forward.

Didn't I just see a thread stating that the RF Extender does not work with the iPronto, only netx can be used? Since I have not jumped in to programming two that a client purchased, I am totally ignorant on this but want to be up to date.

Also, is it required to have the internet? I want to take a working TSU6000 program and have it also work in the house from the iProntos. There is no further need for the talent inherent in the device -- just to control a system that is already being controlled by a rather extensive ccf.

That is basically what I have done. i do not use NetX, I do not use the EPG. I have zero problems I have transferred the "same" ccf from a TSU1000 to a TSU6000 to the TSI6000 with no significant problems. The iPronto is nice from a download because of the wi-fi interface. Runor has it that eventually the iPronto or a follow on (better not be the case) will allow for TCP/IP or UDP communications in addition to IR and RF using Wi-Fi and being able to assign the strings to be communicated to buttons on the RC panel.. Now that is what I want. It could then even be too way.

Ernie, he means the NetX. It is an RF base that uses the 2.4 GHz RF frequency
