4.1 LAN
Configuration
If you already have a network set up, you can change the network
settings of the S-Box to fit in with your other computers. From the
User Interface, click the “SETTINGS” tab and choose “GENERAL”
then click on “Network”.
Here, you can set the S-Box IP
address and netmask, disable the
DHCP server, or change the
range of addresses it allocates.
When changing any setting
please ensure you click on the
“Apply” button to make the
change.
We recommend that you keep the
existing network settings and use
the S-Box as your DHCP server. If you disable DHCP you must
manually set up DNS and gateway addresses of your network to
match the IP address of the S-Box.
Warning
:
If you deselect DHCP and
change the IP address of the S-
Box please ensure that you keep
a permanent note of the new IP
address. If the new IP address is
lost or forgotten you will not be
able to access the S-Box for
configuration or service
purposes.
The S-Box defaults to using DHCP to allocate network addresses (IP
numbers) to computers on your network, and to tell them which route
to use to access the internet. If your computer has been connected to
a DHCP server in the past, you might need to prompt it to now use
