Onkyo TX-NR1009 Network, Firmware Update, MAC Address, Dhcp, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway

Network

After modifying the network settings, you must confirm the changes by executing “Save”.

This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s network settings manually.

If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set to use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e., DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static IP), you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is essential.

What’s DHCP?

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to automatically configure themselves on a network.

What’s DNS?

The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS to translate this into an IP address, in this case 63.148.251.142.

■MAC Address

This is the AV receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control) address. This address cannot be changed.

■DHCP

`Enable

`Disable

This setting determines whether or not the AV receiver uses DHCP to automatically configure its IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server settings.

Note

•If you select “Disable”, you must configure the “IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”, “Gateway”, and “DNS Server” settings yourself.

■IP Address

`Class A:

“10.0.0.0” to “10.255.255.255”

`Class B:

“172.16.0.0” to “172.31.255.255”

`Class C:

“192.168.0.0” to “192.168.255.255” Enter a static IP address provided by your ISP. Most routers use Class C IP addresses.

■Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask address provided by your ISP (typically 255.255.255.0).

■Gateway

Enter the gateway address provided by your ISP.

■DNS Server

Enter the DNS server address provided by your ISP.

En

■Proxy URL

To use a Web proxy, enter its URL here.

■Proxy Port

If you’re using a Web proxy, enter a proxy port number here.

■Network Control

`Enable

`Disable

This setting enables or disables control over the network.

Note

•When set to “Enable”, the NET indicator is dimly-lit and the power consumption slightly increases in standby mode.

■Control Port

`“49152” to “65535”

This is the network port used for control over the network.

Note

•When the “Network Control” setting is set to “Disable”, this setting is cannot be selected.

Firmware Update
