hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.

•Use only a shielded STP or ScTP LAN cable which is available at
retailer.
•Some flat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise.
We recommend using a normal type cable.
•If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network
settings are made manually, make the settings at “Network Setup”
(vpage70).
•With this unit, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP functions
to make the network settings automatically.
•When using this unit with the broadband router’s DHCP function
enabled, this unit automatically performs the IP address setting and
other settings.

function, make the settings for the IP address, etc., at “Network
Setup” (vpage70).
•When setting manually, check the setting contents with the network
administrator.
