4. The wired network integration
If an Ethernet cable of a functioning network is plugged in at the time the device is
switched on, follow the steps below to set up the device:
1)
If a wired connection is available, then “Wired Ethernet” is the
correct choice. (Wireless networks may also appear here if the

software), you may have to correct the configuration at this point.
Press the

For users of proxy servers, the procedure is different as of Item 3.
Proxy servers are
