Network
After modifying the network settings, you must confirm
the changes by executing "Save".
This section explains how to configure the AV receiver's
network settings manually.
If your router's DHCP server is enabled, you don't need to
change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set to
use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default
(i.e., DHCP is set to "Enable"). If, however, your router's
DHCP server is disabled (you're for example using static
IP), you'll need to configure these settings yourself, in
which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is
essential.
What's DHCP?
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by
routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to
automatically configure themselves on a network.
What's DNS?
The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain
names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a
domain name such as www.onkyousa.com in your Web
browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS
to translate this into an IP address, in this case
63.148.251.142.
■
MAC Address
This is the AV receiver's MAC (Media Access Control)
address. This address cannot be changed.
■
DHCP
Enable
Disable
This setting determines whether or not the AV receiver
uses DHCP to automatically configure its IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server settings.
Note
• If you select "Disable", you must configure the "IP Address",
"Subnet Mask", "Gateway", and "DNS Server" settings
yourself.
■

Class A:
"10.0.0.0" to "10.255.255.255"
Class B:

Class C:
"192.168.0.0" to "192.168.255.255"
