Accessing to The Digital Receiver via The Internet

NOTE

The web server and FTP server of the digital receiver don’t
work in standby mode. So it must be powered up all the time

if you wish to use the web service at any time.

8.1

Configuring the router

In this section, the setup program of WRT54G, which is a router
manufactured by Linksys, will be referred to as an exemplary
to help your understanding of how to configure the router for
network connection.

NOTE

For detailed description about how to set up the router, refer
to the manual of your router.

8.1.1

To access from local area network

Once your router is powered up, whether it is connected to the
Internet or not, a local area network is created.

You can let the router automatically as-

sign a dynamic IP address to a computer
or device connected to the network by
enabling the DHCP server of the router.
In this case, you can access the digital
receiver with the IP address which is
assigned to the digital receiver by the
router.

If the digital receiver reboots, a new dynamic IP address will be
assigned to it. You had better assign a static IP address to the
digital receiver to avoid this inconvenience. To do so, refer to
the manual of your router. You may have to disable the DHCP
server of the router, and specify an available IP address for
the digital receiver at the IP Configuration menu. For how to
specify a static IP address, see §

8.2
