Connecting to a Wired Network
You can attach your TV to your LAN using cable in three ways:
•
You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your
TV to an external modem using a Cat 5 cable. See the diagram below.
• You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your
TV to an IP Sharer which is connected to an external modem. Use Cat 5 cable for the
connection. See the diagram below.
• Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach your TV to
your LAN by connecting the LAN by port on the back of your TV directly to a network
wall outlet using a Cat 5 cable. See the diagram below. Note that the wall outlet is
attached to a modem or router elsewhere in your house.
If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that
supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that
support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
values your TV needs to access the Internet so you don
‟
t have to enter them manually.
Most home networks are Dynamic Networks. Some networks require a Static IP
address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address,
subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your T
V‟
s Cable Setup Screen
when you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask,
gateways, and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have a
Windows computer, you can also get these values through your computer.
