Connecting to your Local Area Network (LAN)
To connect to your Local Area Network (LAN):
1. Connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to your LAN and the other end to the
LAN port at the back of your HD media player.
2. Connect devices to your HD media player.
For more details, refer to the section Connecting devices to your HD media
player in Chapter 1.
3. Follow steps 4-5 in the previous section Connecting to a home network.
• If you select DHCP IP (AUTO), key in the DHCP server’s IP address. The
DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address for your media player.
• If you select FIX IP (MANUAL), key in the IP address and Subnet Mask.
• You may use the Fix IP address default settings:
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• You may also obtain the IP address and subnet mask from your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
• The IP addresses of your HD media player and your computer should be
in the same workgroup and subnet. But your HD media player and your
computer must have different IP addresses.
• If you cannot connect to your LAN, contact your network administrator.
• If you want to access shared network les, ensure that the network
computer’s les are shared on the network. For more details, refer to the
section Sharing les over the network in this chapter.
4. At the conrmation message, select OK to save the setting or CANCEL to
discard the setting.
5. On your computer, you may manually congure the IP settings.
For more details, refer to the section Conguring the network clients in this
chapter.
