Ethernet configuration and FTP Access

Choose the Ethernet Configuration menu to setup a network connection between a PC and your DVD Player. Connecting your DVD player to a network enables you to use the online services and play audio/video/ pictures files from your connected PC with KiSS PC-Link. Depending how your VR-558 and your PC are connected together, you will require to ENABLE or DISABLE DHCP Client. To know if you need either or, please refer to the PC TO DVD CONNECTION section. If you decide to DISBALE DHCP Client, a new section will appear: ENTER THE TCP/IP SETTINGS MANUALLY. Read the section below to see how to set this up. Read also below how to set up NTP Client. Choose SHOW CURRENT TCP/IP SETTINGS to view your VR-558's current network settings and connect to your Hard Disk via FTP. Refer to the MANAGING YOUR HARD DISK chapter to learn how to set up the FTP.

Setting DHCP Client

DHCP Client holds the parameters of your Player's Network settings (IP address, Subnet mask, DNS...). Leave this menu ENABLED if you have connected your player to a network that involves Internet. This way the player will set the parameters automatically. DISABLED should only be selected if you have a connection that doesn't involve Internet. If you just connect your player to your PC by a straight cable for example. By selecting DISABLED, you will be asked to ENTER THE TCP/IP SETTINGS MANUALLY. The numbers should be different than the ones on your PC. We recommend to use the following numbers:

IP Address: 192.168.000.002; Network Mask: 255.255.255.000; Default Gateway: 192.168.000.001; DNS Sever: 192.168.000.001. You will now be able to establish a connection between your PC and Player. See PC TO DVD CONNECTION, NETWORK USING A DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE PC for more details.

NTP Client (Network Timing), PC-Link Server and Web Schedule

If your VR-558 is on a network connected to the Internet, you can choose to get the displayed time automatically from the Internet. To do so, turn on Network Timing (NTP Client) by selecting ENABLED. If you decide to DISABLE this function, you will need to enter the time and date information yourself by going to REGIONAL SETTINGS and TIME or DATE.
