For customers that do not have a router

(Procedure for manually configuring the IP address)

If you have no router on your network and connect your LinkTheater directly to your PC, you'll need to set the IP address manually. To do this, you'll need to determine the IP address and subnet mask for your computer. Only configure the LinkTheater's IP address manually if you have a good reason for doing so, e.g. you are not using a router, or your network has no DHCP server.

Note The numbers and letters that are displayed on the screen will differ according to your environment.
