Connecting to the Network

TTo connect the set top box to a TV and the network using the cables provided:

1.Attach the set top box video-out to a TV using the left (yellow) connector or the S-Video connector.

2.Connect the set-top box audio out (left and right) to a TV.

3.Connect the set-top box to the network using the LAN1 port.

4.Connect power cord to a power source.

Setting the IP Address

You need to know the IP address (or host name) in order to run the web-based STB Admin Configuration application. (If the host name is not available, either because it has not been configured or because it is configured for retrieval by DHCP and the DHCP server has not provided it, the STB will default to a host name based on its MAC address.) By default, the set top box is configured for DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and will automatically retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server if present. If a DHCP server is not available, you can configure the set top box with a static IP address. The STB is set to a default IP address of 172.17.11.111 as a convenience. In most cases, this should be changed to avoid conflicts. You can find this IP address using a keyboard connected to the PS/2 port or by using a terminal connected to the serial port as explained below.

Note By default, DHCP is used to retrieve a dynamic IP address for the STB. If you are not using a DHCP server, you must configure the STB to use a static IP address; the default static address is 172.17.11.111.

TTo determine the STB IP address:

1.If a DHCP server is present, go to Finding the DHCP IP Address to determine the IP address of your STB in DHCP mode.

2.If a DHCP server is not present, go to Assigning a Static IP Address to manually assign an IP address other than the default.
