If found, a message will appear and selecting “Save and exit” will finish the process.

If no DHCP server is found, please check that your network supports DHCP and that your network cable is connected correctly at both ends.

Restart Magic TV™ for it to be seen by the network.

Assign Static IP Address

Select this option if your network doesn’t support DHCP, or you would rather assign a particular IP Address to Magic TV™.

You will be asked to input the following information:

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Gateway Address – (often the IP Address of your router)

DNS Address – (often the IP Address of your router)

Please refer to your network equipment and computer’s documentation for information about IP settings.
