Ethernet Setup
Some Internet Service Providers (phone/cable company) may require you to provide them with your TV's Ethernet MAC (Media Access Control) address and assign you with a device host name to enter below. This is usually NOT required if connecting to an ISP through an Ethernet gateway device (e.g. router) supporting NAT/PAT, sometimes referred to as a DSL/Cable Modem router.
This is your device's MAC address: 00 11 22 33 44 55
If your Ethernet gateway device supports DHCP, the Domain Name will appear here: domain.name.here.
If required, enter the device hose name below:
Use the keyboard or the remote's arrow keys to enter the host name. This may be the only setup you need to do.
Ethernet Setup
An Ethernet connection allows your TV to be upgraded if a software upgrade is available. Connect your TV to a router and cable modem via the ETHERNET jack. Then, go to the Software Upgrade menu to see if a software upgrade is available. If you have a NAT (Network Address Translation) /PAT (Port Address Translation) component with DHCP capability (router, etc.), no setup is required. The TV automatically sets itself up for Ethernet use. If you do not have a NAT/PAT router, you may need to establish some settings in conjunction with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) before you can connect to the Internet.
If an IP address isn’t assigned for you, contact your network administrator for the necessary information.
A Reset All selection is provided for your convenience if you move to another city and must enter new information, or enter some incorrect information.
