Getting Started
Network Connection
You can set up your
TV so that it can access the Internet through your local area network (LAN) with a Ethernet or wireless
connection.
You can attach your TV to your LAN by one of the three following ways:
You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using a Cat 5
LAN cable. See the diagram below.
You can attach your TV
to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an IP Sharer which is connected
to an external modem. Use LAN cable for the connection. See the diagram below.
Depending
on how your network is configured, you may be able
to attach your
TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port
on the back of your TV directly to a network wall outlet with a Cat 5 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 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS, so
you don’t 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 TV’s 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.
