Tutorial : Setting Up Your Rabbit

Step 1

Put your rabbit in a position near your laptop / desktop for best signal, and convenience should or when he needs unplugging.

Step 2

While holding down the button on his head between the ears, plug the power cable into the hole beside the volume switch.

Step 3

Once the power cable is in, it will make a noise and the LED's will illuminate purple, continue holding the button until the LED's turn blue, then quickly release the button.

If you held the button for too long the LED's will turn red, and when released the LED's will illuminate white, and the left ear will rotate, simply unplug the rabbit, and go to Step 2.

Step 4

With the blue LED's constantly light, go into your computers Start Menu > Settings > Network Connections. Now right click Wireless Network Connection > View Available Wireless Networks.  You may need to click Refresh Network List if nabaztagEF (or similar) doesnt appear in the list.

Step 5

Once you have your Nabaztag's AdHoc connection in your list, click Connect, and then Connect Anyway.

Make sure your network adapter is setup this way, otherwise it may not be able to connect to the rabbit.

Step 6

You now have a Computer > Nabaztag AdHoc connection, to setup your rabbit, open up your browser and point the address bar to http://192.168.0.1.

Step 7

This is the Nabaztag configuration page, there is where you need to supply your wireless network's connection details such as :

SSID : Network Name
WEP : Yes or No
WEP KEY : Encryption Key
Authentication : Shared or Open

NOTE : Most people who have problems are more than likely caused by the Authentication field, this must be set to the right type otherwise your rabbit will not be able to connect to the access point. So check this!!

Once you have setup your rabbit, click Update And Start, this will save the settings and reset the rabbit.
