From the radio Network settings menu, select ‘Manual settings’. You must then choose
whether to connect using ‘Wired’ or ‘Wireless’ connections. If you choose ‘Wireless’ there
are as many as nine settings screens, shown by the ‘ of 9’ progress marker in the top right
corner of the display. If you choose ‘Wired’ there are five screens and the progress marker will
reflect this, although the steps to set up the network parameters are basically the same.
The next menu asks whether you wish to use DHCP to configure your network parameters (IP
address, subnet mask, gateway address, etc). Unless you are familiar with networking and
related terminology, we recommend that you allow the use of DHCP. Choose ‘DHCP enable’
unless you need to specify the network details manually. If you have chosen ‘Wired’ and then
‘DHCP enable’, your radio should now establish a connection to the router using the Ethernet
cable. Please skip to setp. If you chose ‘Wireless’ and ‘DHCP enable’, please skip to step
6 in order to set up the wireless connection details. If you chose ‘DHCP disable’ for either
connection method, the next step is to set up the IP address.
The manually specified IP address should be chosen to be compatible with the settings in your
router and must be a unique address on your network. If you are using DHCP for some devices
and static (manually configured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside
the range that the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the first three groups of digits
will be the same for all devices on your network. To enter the IP address, press the Folder Up
or Down buttons to set the value for each group of digits and then press the Select button or
the Left or Right buttons on the remote control to enter the value and to move on to the next
group. When the IP address has been entered, the subnet mask should be entered. The subnet
mask defines which parts of the IP address are common across your network. For most small
networks the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 and this is entered in the same way.
The Gateway address is normally the IP address of the router through which the radio
connects to the internet and is entered in the same way as the previous addresses.
Manual network configuration
If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic configuration, or if your network is configured with a
hidden SSID, then you will need to enter some network settings manually. (Note – a hidden SSID
may prevent casual observers from detecting your network, but is not recommended as a means
of network security.)
