Slide42: A. Lower the Screen On the switch panel (under thermostat near bar) find the screen switch on the upper left. Push to lower the screen. It will stop automatically when the screen is fully lowered B. Turn on the VCR Find the VCR remote control (it’s labeled “RCA” on the bottom). Push the red VCR1 button to power on the RCA VCR (the upper VCR on the left). The VCR is on if you see the channel number on the right of the VCR display (the time is displayed on the left whether the VCR is on or off). C. Turn on and set up the Receiver Find the receiver remote control (it’s labeled “Denon” on the upper left). Push the red POWER button to turn on the receiver (upper box on the right). The receiver is on if you see the display lit up. Select VCR1 as receiver input device: If VCR1 is not shown on the receiver display, push the yellow VCR1 button (number “5”) on the receiver remote control. After a few seconds, you should hear sound from the loudspeakers if a video channel has been selected. Set receiver mode to STEREO - push blue STEREO button on the remote control.

Slide43: D. Turn on the Projector Remove the lens cap from the projector (if it is on). Plug in the projector if the line cord is disconnected (at the right rear). Turn on the projector - the switch is just above the line cord at the rear of the projector. The projector will warm up in about a minute. You will first see a test pattern, and then the video picture corresponding to the sound. If you see a blue screen without a picture, open the control door on the top right of the projector, and push the VIDEO button. You should now see the picture. E.

The Broadband Home: The Broadband Home Much of the technology is available now -- but it’s too damn complex! Skill and time to set it up Needs sophisticated trouble-shooting skills Seemingly simple things are hard to do


Industry Challenges: Industry Challenges Make it easy for the user Allow flexibility without increasing complexity Satisfy both early adopters and mass market Facilitate interworking of products and services Needs to be “a symphony, not a solo”


Home Networking Overview: Home Networking Overview Key drivers Multi-PC households New applications - home control, appliance maintenance, distribution of phone, audio and video New net appliances - Webpad, game console, Internet radio, ... Sharing Internet access and home resources “People don’t want a network, they want to share” Many competing technologies Ethernet over Category 5 structured wiring Phone line (HomePNA) Wireless (HomeRF, 802.11 family. Bluetooth) Powerline (HomePlug) Uncertainty as to “winners” and timing

Wireless Networking: Wireless Networking Very attractive home networking solution Too many competing flavors Reconcile home and office Like to use same wireless LAN in both Reconcile personal area network with home network Will Bluetooth work with other wireless LANs? Broadband home is more than PCs Need to provide adequate bandwidth 10 Mbps for PC-to-PC communications 25 Mbps for video distribution


Home Networking - Our Forecast: Home Networking - Our Forecast Near term (next year or two) Different markets will develop differently New construction - Fast Ethernet over Cat 5 Existing MDUs: HomePNA for vertical risers, Bluetooth within unit Single family: Wireless (probably 802.11b) and HomePNA Longer Term (two years plus) HomePlug and HomePNA for backbone with wireless within rooms 802.11a (25 to 55 Mbps) for integrated distribution of data, audio and video within home

User Needs Drive the Home Gateway: User Needs Drive the Home Gateway


Telephony-specific Needs and Features: Telephony-specific Needs and Features Sometimes user needs are in conflict “Support my existing phones and phone-connected devices such as fax machines and PCs” versus “Provide new features not possible with today’s phones” …and result in different vendor responses connect to existing house wiring, phones, and modem-equiped devices versus connect to new phone devices in new ways Service providers influence gateway telephone features Main market for many gateway vendors Gateways packaged as part of their service package Their needs and their perception of end user needs influences vendor implementation of features
