IP Environment Setup

The IP Environment Menu enables you to set up the network features of the STB. With the exception of Network Connection settings, the IP Environment settings are editable (with the Installer Remote) only if the STB is in Pass-through Mode and read-only when the STB is not in Pass-through Mode. Also, if you intend to create a Master STB Setup for cloning purposes (using a TLX file—see Master STB Setup procedure on pages 35 to 38), all IP Environment settings, with the exception of Wired Network Connection settings and the STB name (editable in the Media Share Menu), may be cloned.

Accessing the IP Environment Menu

1.Use the Installer Remote to access the Installer Menu (see “Accessing the Installer Menu” on page 25 for further information).

2.Navigate to Installer Menu item 119 DATA CHANNEL, and press 2-5-3+ MENU to launch the IP Environment Menu (see example at right).

Use the Up/Down arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select the desired menu option and then press OK. Refer to the following sections for information on each of the IP Environment setup options.

When you have completed your IP Environment configuration as required, press EXIT or on the Installer Remote to exit the IP Environment Menu.

Configuring the Network Connection

This option launches a Network Connection wizard that guides you through the process of setting up the STB’s wired and/or wireless network connection. Use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to navigate between options.

Note: If desired, you can configure both wired and wireless connections. However, note that a wired connection is always prioritized over a wireless connection. That is, when the STB is turned OFF and then back ON, if a LAN cable is detected between the STB and the network, the STB will default to the wired connection. If the LAN cable is removed, the STB will then attempt to establish the wireless connection. Whenever the LAN cable is reconnected, the STB will re-establish the wired connection.

1.If you will use a wired network connection, connect the appropriate cable between the STB and the network.

2.With the IP Environment Menu on display, use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select Network Connection. Then, press OK.

3.In the first Network Connection wizard window, use the arrow keys to select the type of network—Wired or Wireless—to configure. Then, press OK.

4.Refer to the appropriate subsection below to complete the network connection configuration.

Note: When you enter the IP Environment Menu, the Installer Menu is exited. If you are also in the process of updating Installer Menu items, you may wish to set all items as needed before you access the IP Environment Menu. Otherwise, you will need to reaccess the Installer Menu to set additional items.
