There are many different configurations possible when it comes to networking that are beyond the scope
of this manual. The basic ones in the above figures should help get you going.
Network Setup through the MNGP
The Classic’s Ethernet capabilities may be configured using the Network menu on the MNGP. From the
main menu select ―NET‖.
There are three screens that configure network settings. Table 9 decodes the descriptions from the
MNGP’s small screen.

DHCP
The Classic supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) in which all networking settings are derived
from a DHCP-enabled router. This is the simplest configuration method and recommended unless you explicitly
need a statically allocated IP address for your Classic. In this mode all other settings are automatically configured
and are read only (informational) with the exception of the Web Access feature.
