Connecting the TV-Hub to Your Onboard Network
You can connect the TV-Hub to an onboard local area network (LAN).
A network connection is necessary if either of the following conditions
apply:
• You have one or more IP AutoSwitches installed to enable
automatic satellite switching
(Linear/DISH Network/Bell TV
only)
.
• You want to have the ability to access the TV-Hub’s web
interface using any device connected to your onboard
network.
By default, the TV-Hub’s Ethernet port is configured as a DHCP client,
which means your network’s router will automatically assign it an IP
address. Simply connect the TV-Hub’s Ethernet port to your onboard
network then turn on the TV-Hub.
NOTE: Use a straight-through 100 Mbps fast Ethernet UTP CAT5 cable (or
better) with RJ45 connectors.

Once the TV-Hub is connected to your onboard network, you can
access its web interface by entering the TV-Hub’s dynamically
assigned IP address in the web browser of any device connected to the
network. You can find the TV-Hub’s IP address on the web interface
(select Settings > Network Settings).
