
WEP can be problematic because four security keys
can be defined. The Webbox2 only works with the first key, normally
also the only one that is inserted.

WEP security keys must be inserted as so-called hexadecimal
numbers. In addition to numbers, this code can also consist of the
letters A up to and including F (case-insensitive; WEP64 requires the
input of 10 and WEP128 requires the input of 26 hex-numbers).

Some modems or routers have special brand-specific settings. We
recommend that you change nothing here.
6.6 Your network doesn't support DHCP
By default, the Webbox2 assumes that your modem supports the so-
called DHCP-procedure by which the Webbox2 is automatically allocated
an IP address. If this is not the case, then a fixed address must be
inserted. Sometimes, for example, the IT department of an organisation
also needs a fixed address for the Webbox2 in order to allocate certain
rights to the network.

Within the ‘Pause menu’, go to ‘Device-configuration>Advanced
menu’.

Depending upon whether the Webbox2 is connected to the cable or
wireless network, select ‘Cabled network’ or ‘Wireless network’.

Using the following option ‘DHCP’ you can activate operation using a
fixed IP address (DHCP=off), or indeed operation using the automatic
IP address allocation of the network (DHCP=on).
If the above-cited option ‘DHCP’ is turned ‘off’, then you must configure
the following data:

IP address (e.g. 192.168. 117. 100)

IP netmask (e.g. 255.255.255.0)

Network gateway (e.g. 192.168.117.1)

DNS server 1 (e.g. 192.168.117.100)

DNS server 2 (optional, e.g. 8.8.8.8)
If needed, ask the IT department for these data.
Please note: A fixed IP address is rarely used. In 99.9 % of all cases an
automatically selected IP address is used (DHCP=on)!
