Why change network settings?:
If you have connected the unit to your Home Network
and OTT content is accessible, then there is no reason
to change any network settings from the factory
default. In fact, it is highly likely that changing
any
network settings will stop the network connection
from working.
If your network connection is not working and you
know that your network has been configured to require
static IP addresses which have to be set manually, then
follow the instructions in the next section.
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
Configuring manual IP settings:
Do not attempt to change any of these settings unless
you have experience with Home Network configuration.
If you are in any doubt, consult an IT professional.

A free IP address on your network.
•
A valid Subnet Mask number for your network.

•
network.

•
You will now see the Network Configuration screen.
The current setting will be displayed. This will either be
‘DHCP’ for automatic configuration (the factory setting)
or ‘Static’ for manual configuration.

configuration settings will be displayed.
