Note

This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s network settings manually.

If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e., DHCP is set to Enable). If, however, your router’s DHCP server is disabled, for example, you’re using static IP addresses, you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is essential.

What’s DHCP?

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to automatically configure themselves on a network.

What’s DNS?

The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS to translate this into an IP address, in this case 63.148.251.142.

■Mac Address

This is the AV receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control) address. This address cannot be changed.

■DHCP

This setting determines whether or not the AV receiver uses DHCP to automatically configure its IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server settings.

`Enable:

DHCP enabled.

`Disable:

DHCP disabled.

If you select “Disable”, you must configure the “IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”, “Gateway”, and “DNS Server” settings yourself.

■IP Address

If you set the “DHCP” setting to “Disable”, you must specify an IP address. Enter a static IP address provided by your ISP.

The IP address must be within the following ranges.

`Class A:

10.0.0.0to 10.255.255.255

`Class B:

172.16.0.0to 172.31.255.255

`Class C:

192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 Most routers use Class C IP addresses.

■Subnet Mask

If you set the “DHCP” setting to “Disable”, you must specify a subnet mask address.

Enter the subnet mask address provided by your ISP (typi- cally: 255.255.255.0).
