This documentation covers setup and use for the CYBERsitter v3 device as pictured above. Many topics are also applicable to v2 and v1.
The CYBERsitter BLACK (CSB) device is 100% self configuring and it automatically detects your timezone, sets the time and date, and configures it's settings to the most common ones. Once you plug it in, it will join your network automatically.
You'll find everything you need included in your CSB package. These include:
Basically, all you need is a power outlet close by and an open ethernet (network) port. Your CSB can be plugged in anywhere on your network LAN. If you have a free port on your router, that is always a good choice, but you can also plug your CSB into a network switch or hardwired port somewhere on your network. It just needs a hardwired connection to your network.
You will need to make a small change in your router, so you will need your router user-name and password. Make sure you are able to access your router before starting the setup process.
