y Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN

port on the back of your TV directly to a network wall outlet using a LAN cable. See the diagram below. Note that the wall

outlet is attached to a modem or router elsewhere in your house.

y 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 connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values, 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.

✎

It is not supported when the network speed is under 10 Mbps.
