Using remote play (via an access point)

Connect the PS3™ system to an access point using a network cable, and then use the PSP™ system's wireless LAN feature to connect to the PS3™ system via the access point.
Example of a common configuration

Hints
- An access point is a device used for connecting to a network wirelessly. A router is a device used for sharing one Internet connection among multiple devices. A device that is equipped with the functionally of these two kinds of equipment is generally referred to as a "wireless router."
- A modem may also be equipped with router functionality. If connecting the PS3™ system to a modem, use a modem that is equipped with router functionality.
- If the access point and modem both are equipped with router functionality, turn the router functionality off on one of these devices. The PS3™ system and PSP™ system must be connected to the same network. If two or more routers are used at the same time, the PS3™ system and PSP™ system may be connected to separate networks and you might not be able to use remote play.
Getting ready (PSP™ system and PS3™ system)
To use remote play for the first time, you must register (pair) the PSP™ system with the PS3™ system.

Connect the PSP™ system to the PS3™ system using a USB cable.
|
2. |
From the PSP™ system's home menu, select (USB Connection) under (Settings).
|
3. |
From the PS3™ system's home menu, select (Remote Play Settings) under (Settings).

Hints
- You can use the USB cable for the wireless controller to connect the PSP™ system to the PS3™ system.
- If you register a PSP™ system that had been registered with another PS3™ system, the registration with the first PS3™ system will be cleared.
Getting ready (PSP™ system)
Create a network connection for connecting the PSP™ system to an access point. If the PSP™ system already has a saved network connection for use in connecting to a network via an access point, you do not have to create a new network connection to use remote play. For more information on connecting via an access point, refer to
(Settings) >
(Network Settings) > [Infrastructure Mode].
