You can set up the Internet Protocol so that you can communicate with various connected networks.

Network Connection - Cable

LAN Connection for a DHCP Environment
The procedures to set up the network using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) are described below. Since an IP address,
subnet mask, gateway, and DNS are automatically allocated when DHCP is selected, you do not have to enter them manually.
1 Connect the LAN port on the rear panel of the TV and the external modem with a LAN Cable.
2 Connect the Modem port on the wall and the external modem with a Modem Cable.

You can connect the LAN via a Sharer (Router).

You can connect the LAN port and the TV directly depending on your network status.

The terminals (the position of the port and the type) of the external device may differ depending on the manufacturer.
If the IP address allocation by the DHCP server has failed, turn the external modem off, turn it on again after at least 10 seconds and
then try again.
For the connections between the external modem and the Sharer (Router), refer to the owner’s manual of the corresponding
product.
You can connect the TV to the LAN directly without connecting it through a Sharer (Router)
You cannot use a manual-connection-type ADSL modem because it does not support DHCP. You have to use an
automaticconnection-type ADSL modem.
