3-1. Connection Using a Network Router
In order to utilize the DP-S1 fully, it is strongly recommended to
connect the DP-S1 to the home network with a network router.
For this connection, the following equipments are required;
z
A router with a built-in network switch.
z
An Ethernet cable.
z
A PC with Windows XP operating system.
As shown in the picture, you have to connect the DP-S1 to the router
with an Ethernet cable included in the box. If you purchase a router
with a DP-S1 and have no experience of connecting a router with a PC,
please refer to user’s manual of the router and connect the DP-S1 to
the router as an additional PC. If the router has the DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) server feature and it is enabled, all the
configurations for networking will be set automatically and the DP-S1 is
ready to use. For more information of configuring LAN, please refer to
Chapter 4. Quick Setup, which illustrates how to configure the LAN port.
