Because this box has been stripped down for easy handling, you should know some essential facts:

Factory defaults: It must be connected to the Internet to get the basic OS installed online
o
After the installing of the basic OS it needs to get a script from a connected Linux
Device running to prepare it for the Digital Signage / IPTV Multicast streaming’s
o
The STB displays Time and date information on the main screen so it needs a NTP
connection either getting these from the router or from the internet.
o
So it is almost helpful to have a tiny router installed which serves the boxes with
small internet connection and also handles their DHCP.-IP addresses IPv4
We now like to give you a short introduction to setup a DHCP-Router for these boxes: Using a
raspberry PI3/4 and its original Raspberry Pi OS:

and by acting under this tutorial:

We assume that you are familiar with setting up a RPI: Download, use RPImager and flash it. Than
stay at the µSDCard by your windows/Linux-PC and add following to the USB-Boot-Folder:
Things You Need:
In order to configure your Raspberry Pi as a wired router, you need the following things:
1) A Raspberry Pi single board computer
2) A Raspberry Pi power adapter or a 2.1A USB power bank
3) A SD card reader for flashing Raspbian OS onto the microSD card.
4) A microSD card
5) A network switch (10/100/1000 or 100/1000 Autosensing)
6) Ethernet cables
7) A Wi-Fi network to connect the Raspberry Pi to
8) A computer/laptop for configuring the Raspberry Pi
In this example case, we have an external WIFI-USP-Stick connected to the PI and a WIFI-in Reach.
We are using for this tutorial an older RPI2-Model.
The Network-switches can be set to the static IP address ranges and been managed by a connected
PC in the same static or dynamic range at the switches. The Raspi can be handled by a laptop in the
same WIFI - See picture:
