Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach your product to your LAN
by connecting the LAN port on the back of your product directly to a network wall outlet using a
LAN 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 the Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP
address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your product needs to access the Internet so you do not
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 product Cable Setup Screen when
you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values, contact
your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If you have a Windows computer, you can also get these values through your computer.

You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a Static IP address.

ADSL modems that support DHCP also let you use Static IP addresses.
