Without DHCP-Server

Requirements:

• PC with browser like. Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer

• latest Software for your Dreambox, downloadable under

www.dreambox.de

• 1 network cable

• 1 mini-usb-to-USB cable

OK, you don’t have an DHCP server. That’s normal if you don’t have a router or configured one
by yourself. You don’t need to install one, but you need to connect your Dreambox by a USB cable now
and start a terminalprogram like hyperterminal.

You need to know which IP to give to your Dreambox If you don’t know which IP to choose, please ask
someone who can help you. You can choose any IP which is "near" your PC’s IP address, but the
IP should not be used by any other device.

For example, if your PC’s IP is 192.168.0.5 you could use 192.168.0.10, unless another device already uses
that. In that case, just choose 192.168.0.11, or whatever. It just needs to be in the 192.168.0.x range, where
x is >= 1 and <= 254.

Start your favourite terminal program, for example HyperTerm. Setup your Comport to 115200/8N1. Now
switch on your dreambox and immediately press the "s" key.

Use the “Arrow-Buttons” of your keyboard to switch to the network setup menu. Using “+” or “-” you
can set the “Network type” to “manual”. Now you can enter an IP address in below. Press F9 to save your
settings. The Dreambox will shutdown.
