Setting the IP address
While connecting to a network, networked devices are assigned a unique
identifier known as an IP address. IP addresses are used to direct network traffic
to the correct destination. An IP address is usually displayed as numbers
separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.2.
To change the way the IP address is assigned:
1 On the player’s remote control, press STOP, then press SETUP. The Welcome
to Setup screen opens.
2 Highlight Network, then press ENTER.
3 Highlight IP Address.
4 Press the buttons to choose one of the following:
■ DHCP (Auto) — Automatically assigns an IP address and provides other
configuration information (recommended)
Important DHCP (Dyanamic Host Configuration Protocol) is an
Internet protocol for automatically configuring computers
that use TCP/IP. DHCP can be used to automatically
assign IP addresses and to provide other configuration
information.
