(not included)

LAN Cable

Our built-in wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n communication protocols and we recommend that you use an IEEE 802.11n router. When you play a video over an IEEEE 802.11 b/g connection, the video may not play smoothly.

NOTES

• You must use the Hisense built-in Wireless LAN Adapter to use a wireless network because the set does not support an external USB network adapter.

• To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer. If the wireless IP sharer supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.

• Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.

• If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.

• If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11N mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP

or TKIP-AES (WPS2 Mixed) for your Access Point (AP), then the Hisense TV will not support a connection in compliance with these Wi-Fi certification specifications.

• If your access point (AP) supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can connect to the network via Push Button Configuration (PBC) or PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID

and WPA key in either mode.

Connecting to a Wired (Ethernet) Network

You can attach your TV to your LAN in one of the three following ways:

Option 1.

• You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using a Cat 5 LAN cable. See Figure 15.

If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS, so you don’t have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.

Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

NOTES

You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a static IP address. ADSL modems that support DHCP also let you use static IP addresses.
