38 hp digital media receiver

Once the media receiver restarts you will be returned

to the main home screen. If there are no error

messages, your network settings are properly

configured.

wired with static address

If a DHCP server is not available, you must assign the

media receiver a static address that is valid for your

network. The address must be very similar to the

address used by your PC, and it cannot be in use by

another network PC or device.

It is best to determine the addresses of all your PCs

before assigning one to your media receiver. Use the

method described in “network address: static or

dynamic?” on page 36 to find the static addresses in

use, and then pick an available address.

For example, you have three PCs on your network:

• PC1: 192.168.0.2

• PC2: 192.168.0.17

• PC3: 192.168.0.11

All with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. For the media

receiver, pick an unused address like 192.168.0.20

and use the same netmask of 255.255.255.0. Write

the addresses down for future reference.

To configure the receiver for the static address:

1. Press options

2. Select Network Setup

3. Set Connection to Wired (Ethernet)

4. Select Address

5. Set Configuration to static

6. Set the IP Address to 192.168.0.20

7. Set the Netmask to 255.255.255.0

8. Press left arrow to return to receiver options

9. Select Apply Changes to apply the network

changes

The media receiver will restart and if the media server

software is running, you should see your photos and

music content.
