Connecting With
DHCP
(Recommended)
If you are using a router with DHCP active to connect to the Nº512,
use this procedure. Otherwise, skip to the next procedure.
Connect one Nº512 player to the router, as described in the earlier
“Connecting the Cables” section. Make sure that everything is
powered off before making cable connections.
1. Turn on the PC and the router. Verify that the router has DHCP
active.
2. Press the Power button on the Nº512.
3. On the computer, open the Internet Explorer Web browser.
4. Access the status page of the router to identify the name of the
Nº512 player. Refer to your router’s owner’s manual to
determine how to access the status page.
Most routers identify the device names of all located devices on
the status page. However, some may only list the assigned IP
address.
Note If you are using ML Net, you can also use the Nº502 to determine the
name of the Nº512 player. Refer to the ML Net section of the Nº502
Owner’s Manual for further details.
5. Type the name or assigned IP address of the Nº512 player into
the address (URL) line of the web browser and press the Enter
button.
6. The Nº512 internal Web page is now displayed. The top of the
page provides the general status of the Nº512. The bottom of
the page contains the network parameters setup.
7. Observe that the Status section of the Web page identifies the
Host Name and IP address of the Nº512 player. The host name
can be modified, but only the first eight characters are affected;
anything after the underscore may not be modified.
