IP Environment Setup (Cont.)

Configuring a Wired Network Connection

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.Connect the appropriate cable between the STB and the network.

2.With the Network Menu on display, use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select Network Setting. Then, press OK. A second Network screen (see example at right), with Wired and Wi-Fi Connection setup options, will be displayed.

By default, the STB uses DHCP, and if a LAN cable is detected, the STB will attempt to connect to the network as soon as you select “Network Setting” above. If the STB is able to connect to the network, a “Connected to Internet” message will be displayed below the Wired Connection field.

3.If the network is not configured for DHCP or you want to specify static configuration data or you would like to change the network configuration from Manual to Automatic, edit the IP configuration for this STB as follows:

•In the second Network screen, select Wired Connection and press OK. Then, in the Wired screen, select Edit (if not already selected) and press OK.

•In the Edit IP screen, select or de-select the “Set Automatically” checkbox, as required. A checkmark indicates that Automatic configuration is enabled.

•To manually edit the IP configuration, for each data entry field: Use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select the field and press OK. You can use the number keys on the Installer Remote to direct enter numeric values or use the arrow keys to select the appropriate numbers from the pop-up virtual keyboard displayed at the bottom of the screen. (Note, however, that you must use the dot “.” key from the virtual keyboard to separate each octet of an IP address.) When you are done, select Enter from the virtual keyboard, and then press OK on the Installer Remote.

•When all Edit IP fields are set as required, use the arrow keys on the Installer Remote to select Connect and press OK.

At the top of the screen, you will see a progress display that indicates status as each network element is confirmed (see example at right).
