2-3 Network Wizard

In the Network Wizard, you can nish network-related settings, including Ethernet and Wi-Fi

congurations.

2-3-1 Step1: Ethernet Conguration

Here you can congure the wired Ethernet network settings.

Firstly, please enter the Group name and Hostname. The "group" name is used only when

the SMP player is connected to a CMS server. The "hostname" is used to identify each

SMP player remotely.

If a DHCP server is available in the network, using DHCP server to obtain an IP address

for the SMP player is suggested. If not, you will have to congure the IP address, subnet

mask, gateway, and DNS server. Gateway and DNS server settings are not obligatory,

but consequently the SMP player can only connect to a CMS server in the same LAN (not
