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 values your TV needs to access the Internet so you do not
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

contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have a Windows computer,

you can also get these values through your computer.

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.

❑Connecting to a Wireless Network

for PDP 550 and 570 Series

To connect your TV to your network wireless, you need a wireless router or
modem and a Samsung Wireless LAN adapter (WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2,
WIS10ABGN), which you connect to your TV’s back or side panel USB port. See
the illustration below.

Samsung’s Wireless LAN adapter is sold separately and is offered by selected 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 video over a network connection, the video may not be
played smoothly.

NOTE

●

You must use the “Samsung Wireless LAN adapter” (WIS09ABGN,
WIS09ABGN2, WIS10ABGN) to use a wireless network.

◀ ▶

English

●

To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer
(either a router or a modem). If the wireless IP sharer supports 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.

◀ ▶

English

●

If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11n mode is selected and the
Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP AES (WPS2Mixed) for your AP,
Samsung TVs will not support a connection in compliance with new Wi-Fi
certification specifications.

●

If your AP supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the
network via PBC (Push Button Configuration) or PIN (Personal Identification
Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in either
mode.

●

◀ ▶

If your router, modem, or device is not certified, it may not connect to the TV
via the “Samsung Wireless LAN adapter.”

English

●

Ensure the TV is turned on before you connect the Samsung Wireless LAN
adapter.

●

Connection Methods: You can setup the wireless network connection on six
ways.

■Network Settings (Auto)

Most wireless networks have an optional security system that requires devices that
access the network to transmit an encrypted security code called an Access or
Security Key. The Security Key is based on a Pass Phrase, typically a word or a
series of letters and numbers of a specified length you were asked to enter when

◀ ▶

you set up security for your wireless network. If you use this method of setting up
the network connection, and have a Security Key for your wireless network, you
will have to enter the Pass Phrase during the setup process.
