Network Interface: Press this menu item to define how your player is connected to your local network. If your player is connected to your hub/switch/router through a cable, select WIRED. If you have a wireless access point and prefer to use this for connection, select WIRELESS.

View Current Settings: Enter this menu item to see the current network configuration.

Network protocol: For automatic configuration of the network settings, it is recommended that this option is left enabled. With the DHCP option enabled, you do not need to know how to set up a network. You also do not have to type in anything. All of the parameters (IP address, subnet mask, DNS) for your player will be automatically set by the router/switch/access point you have

connected it to.

Disabling the DHCP option will enable you to manually configure the network details for your player. This is only recommended for networks without a DHCP compliant switch/router/access point or a network without Internet access. In the event that the player is connected to a router/switch/access point without DHCP support or directly to a PC, enter this to manually configure the parameters used on your network. The IP address is the unique address of your player on the network. Do not use the same address as your PC or other devices connected to the network. We recommend that you use 192.168.1.2. If another device on the network has been configured with the same address, simply increment the final digit (“2”) to a number that is not used by other devices. Subnet mask should be set to 255.255.255.0. Default gateway should be set to the same address as the device acting as your gateway to the Internet (usually 192.168.1.1). DNS should set to the same address as the default gateway unless your Internet Service Provider has supplied you with a different address. Alternative DNS should only be filled in if provided by your Internet Service Provider.

Search For Wireless Access Points: Use this menu option to select one of the available wireless networks.The wireless networks on the list may be labelled as either “Unlocked” (available for free) or “Locked” (networks that are available but require an encryption key). Select the network of your choice to establish a connection. If you select a “Locked” network, your player will display a Wireless Details Screen, prompting you to select your associated WIRELESS ENCRYPTION and your associated ENCRYPTION KEY.

Wireless Encryption: The Wireless Encryption menu item allows you to set the type of encryption used on your wireless network. Encryption is used to keep the data exchange between your player and the rest of your network scrambled. This prevents other wireless users in the vicinity from gaining access to personal or confidential information.

So that the player can communicate with your wireless network, the encryption must be set to exactly the same in the player as on the wireless router or access point you will be connecting to. If the wireless router/access point is operating without encryption, your player must be set accordingly. However, we recommend that you always use encryption on your wireless network, so (if possible)

please ensure that your router is set to WEP, WPA or WPA 2 encryption and enable WEP or WPA/PSK TKIP (Personal), WPA/ PSK AES (Enterprise) encryption on your player accordingly. If you do not know which encryption is enabled (if any) in your wireless router/access point, please refer to the configuration instructions in its manual. Encryption key: If you are running an encrypted wireless network, all devices on your network must share the same encryption key so that they can communicate. Please enter this menu item to obtain the on-screen keyboard where you will be able to enter the key you are currently using in your wireless router/access point. If you do not know which encryption key is used on your wireless router/access point, please refer to the configuration instructions in its manual.

Refer to paragraph 5b SELECTING THE NETWORK (WIRELESS NETWORK), of the QUICK SETUP Chapter for more information about how to select your Wireless Access Point.

Wireless Network Configuration: Use this menu to manually manage your Wireless Network Settings. See the above section SEARCH FOR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT for more details.

Linksys Wireless PassPhrase: If you are using WEP and a PASSPHRASE to connect to your wireless network, you can use this menu to select your PassPhrase and get connected. Select the type of key you have set: 64-bit or 128-bit. After you have selected the key type, go to WIRELESS PASSPHRASE. A keypad will appear on your screen; simply use it to write your PassPhrase. Press OK when you are finished. A list of 4 Passphrases will be displayed on your screen, select the one that matches your wireless computer settings and press OK. If you are not sure of your PassPhrase and PassPhrase Keys, please check your wireless router settings on your computer.

Network Services: Enter this menu item to select whether you would like to enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). UPnP is used to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home.
