Turning your Apple TV (ATV) On

Turning your APPLE TV on:
1.)  Make sure your little black box is on by looking for the little white dot in the front.  If it isn't there, unplug the power from the back and plug it back in.

2.)  Use your projector remote to set your projector to your COMPUTER, not your overhead.

3.)  Push the port box (under the Apple TV) to B.

4.)  You should see the Apple TV choices on your screen.  If not, call Shannon.

5.)  Use your skinny silver remote to select "SETTINGS," scroll over to "CONFIGURE WIFI"

6.)    A list of available wireless networks will appear. Using the Menu up/scroll (+) and Menu down/scroll (-) buttons on your remote, navigate to the network you wish to join and select it. Select SBSD.Public.

7.)   When finished, select Done. A "Connecting to wireless network" screen appears.

8.)  When the operation is completed, a "Connection Succeeded" screen appears. Click Done. The screen should display the wireless network information, including network name, IP address, Wi-Fi Address, and signal strength.

9.)  Select Menu on the Apple TV remote until you return to the Home screen.
