1. IP Conﬁguration

To determine how the player obtains its IP address. The available options are:

Auto (DHCP) - The player automatically obtains its IP address information using DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol). This is the default setting. In most cases, automatic IP conﬁguration can be used.

Manual – Manually enter the numeric IP address information. Set the IP conﬁguration manually only when the router has no DHCP server functions or when the router’s DHCP server function is disabled. For more information on how to manually conﬁgure the Internet connection and what values to use, please consult your broadband router/modem instruction manuals or call your Internet service provider.

2. IP Address

The Internet Protocol address of the player. When "IP Conﬁguration" is set to "Auto (DHCP)", the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

3. Subnet Mask

Each IP address has an associated subnet mask. It is used by the player to decide whether to route network trafﬁc through the router or directly to another device on the same network. When "IP Conﬁguration" is set to "Auto (DHCP)", the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

4. Gateway

The IP address of the router. It is also called "default gateway" or "default router". When "IP Conﬁguration" is set to "Auto (DHCP)", the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.
