Step 7: Media Play Features
The Media Play feature lets you connect to your PC through your home network and
stream PC audio and video files to your HDTV using your remote. To use IPTV or
Samsung PC Share Manager, you must connect your TV to your network. You can
attach the TV to your network in two ways, by cable, using CAT 5 cable, or wirelessly,
using a Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter. Instructions for both connection methods are
below.
Network Connection - Wired
There are two main ways to connect your TV to your network using cable,
depending on your network setup. They are illustrated below:
The Modem Port on the Wall
Modem Cable (Not Supplied) LAN Cable (Not Supplied)
The LAN Port on the Wall
External Modem
(ADSL / VDSL / Cable TV)
LAN Cable (Not Supplied)
Configuring the Network Connection - Wired
Most home networks use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to
configure network connections. Home networks that support DHCP automatically
provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your TV needs to
access the Internet so you don’t have to enter them manually.
To configure your network connection for a network that uses DHCP, follow these
steps:
1. Connect your TV to your
network as shown in one of the
illustrations above.
2. Turn on your TV, press the
button on your remote, and then
select Setup → Network.
3. Set the Network Type to Wired if
it is not already set to Wired.
4. Select Network Setup. The
Network Setup screen appears.
5. On the Network Setup menu, set Internet Protocol Setup and DNS to Auto.
Auto acquires and enters the necessary internet values automatically.
MENU
6. Select Network Test to check Internet connectivity.
✎
Some networ ks are Static IP ne tworks. If your n etwork is a St atic IP networ k,
you can not use DH CP to configure t he network co nnection. In stead, you
must enter the IP A ddress, S ubnet Mas k, Gateway, and DNS Se rver
manually. For instr uctions exp laining how to co nfigure a Sta tic IP network ,
see your user’s manu al.

Network Connection - Wireless
You can connect your TV to your LAN through a standard wireless router or
modem. To connect wirelessly, you must first attach a “Samsung Wireless LAN
Adapter” (WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2, WIS10ABGN - sold separately) to either the
USB 1 or USB 2 (HDD) port on the back of your TV. See the illustration below.
Wireless IP sharer
The LAN Port on the Wall
Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by select
retailers, Ecommerce sites and Samsungparts.com. Samsung’s Wireless LAN
adapter supports the IEEE 802.11A/B/G and N communication protocols.
Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11N. When you play the video over a IEEE
802.11B/G connection, the video may not play smoothly.
Most wireless network systems incorporate a security system that requires devices
that access the network through an access point or AP (typically a wireless IP
Sharer) to transmit an encrypted security code called an access key.
If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode is selected and the Encryption
type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIPAES (WPS2Mixed) for your AP, Samsung TVs will
not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi certification specification
(AP having DHCP
server)

steps:
1. Connect your TV to your network
as shown in the illustrations
above.
2. Turn on your TV, press the
button on your remote, and the

3. Set the Network Type to
Wireless if it is not already set to
Wireless.
