System Link is a form of offline multiplayer gaming on the Xbox and Xbox 360 gaming console over a LAN (local area network). The purpose of this is to have multiplayer gameplay on multiple consoles, which allows for a non-split screen multiplayer gaming experience and far more players in one game than a single console can support.

== Instructions ==
  
 
1) Connect your Xbox 360 to CTWUG: your Xbox 360 must be linked to CTWUG to be able to System Link with other CTWUG users. Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet network cable to connect your Xbox 360 to your network switch or router (the same switch or router that connects your PC/notebook to CTWUG). If your PC/notebook is directly connected to CTWUG, you may need to buy a network switch to allow more devices onto your network (R150.00 for a D-Link 5-port 10/100mbps switch). Note: you do not need to worry about the IP address configured on your Xbox 360, just make sure the network cable is connected).

Overview

System Link is a form of offline multiplayer gaming on the Xbox and Xbox 360 gaming console over a LAN (local area network). The purpose of this is to have multiplayer gameplay on multiple consoles, which allows for a non-split screen multiplayer gaming experience and far more players in one game than a single console can support.

Requirements

a) Xbox 360 console.

b) Xbox 360 headset (for voice chat).

c) CTWUG connectivity.

d) Windows/Linux PC.

e) Xbox 360 game(s) with System Link capability (see list below).

Instructions

1) Connect your Xbox 360 to CTWUG: your Xbox 360 must be linked to CTWUG to be able to System Link with other CTWUG users. Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet network cable to connect your Xbox 360 to your network switch or router (the same switch or router that connects your PC/notebook to CTWUG). If your PC/notebook is directly connected to CTWUG, you may need to buy a network switch to allow more devices onto your network (R150.00 for a D-Link 5-port 10/100mbps switch). Note: you do not need to worry about the IP address configured on your Xbox 360, just make sure the network cable is connected).

2) Install XBSlink on your Windows/Linux PC: we use a application called XBSlink to link all Xbox 360 via CTWUG. Download and install the application from here: [1]. After installation, start the application. If your Windows firewall asks for network access for the application, click allow. Configure the application: 

- Capture device: Local Area Connection (your NIC connected to your Xbox 360 via switch/router).
- Local IP and Port should be fine by default.
- STUN and Port can be ignored.
- Use STUN Server to discover NAT type: disabled.
- Use UPnP NAT: disabled.
- Use cloud server to check incoming port: disabled.
- Advanced forwarding of broadcasts: disabled.
- Sound notification when node joins: enabled.
- Always forward MAC list is not required.
- Chat settings: enter your Nickname here.
- Auto switch to chat tab and sound notification are optional.
- Check for updates can be disabled.
- Click Save Settings when done.

3) Join the CTWUG Xbox 360 community: When step two is done or if additional assistance is required, join us on IRC to arrange a gaming session. We can be found on the CTWUG IRC server (irc.ctwug.za.net) in channel ctwug-xbox360.
