Network setup
To configure network settings:
Under TYPE: select DHCP, PPPoE, or STATIC. If DHCP, go to step 5. If PPPoE, go to step 2.
If STATIC, go to step 3.
NOTE: DHCP allows you to quickly connect to your network by obtain ing an IP address from the
router. After the initial setup, we recommend that you disable DHCP and set the IP address
between 1~100. For example, if your IP address is 192.168.0.107, change the last digits to 90
(i.e. 192.163.0.90). This ensures that port forwarding will not change in the event of power
failure or resetting of your network.

If you select PPPoE in step 1, enter your PPPoE user name and password in the respective
fields using the Virtual Keyboard.
PPPOE
