Entering the network address manually

If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic conﬁ guration, or if your network is conﬁ gured with a hidden SSID, then you will need to enter some network settings manually. (Note - a hidden SSID may prevent casual observers from detecting your network, but it is not recommended as a means of network security).

1.From the radio’s Settings menu, select 'Network' and then 'Edit conﬁ g' menu.

2.The next menu asks whether you wish to use DHCP to conﬁ gure your networkparameters(IPaddress,subnetmask,gatewayaddress,etc.). Unless you are familiar with networking and related terminology, we recommend that you allow the use of DHCP. Choose 'Auto DHCP - YES' unless you need to specify network details manually.

If you chose 'Auto DHCP - NO' for the connection method, the next	3	3
step is to set up the IP address.

3.TheIPaddressusedshouldbechosentobecompatiblewiththesettings in your router and must be a unique address on your network. If you

are using DHCP for some devices and static (manually conﬁ gured)
IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside the	3
range that the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the ﬁ rst three	3

groups of digits will be the same for all devices on your network. To enter the IP address, press the Tuning Up or Down buttons to set the value for each group of digits and then press the Select button to enter the value and to move on to the next group. When the IP address has been entered, the subnet mask should be entered. The subnet mask deﬁneswhichpartsoftheIPaddressarecommonacrossyournetwork. For most small networks the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 and this is entered in the same way.
