74 Accessing via Network
8.1 Configuring the router
8.1.1 To access within the local area network
NOTE
The web server of the digital receiver doesn't work in
standby mode. So it must be powered up all the time if you
wish to use the web service at any time.
In this section, the setup program of WRT54G, which is a router
manufactured by Linksys, will be referred to as an example of
how to configure the router for network access.
NOTE
For detailed description about how to set up the router, refer
to the manual of your router.
Once your router is powered up, a local area network gets cre-
ated whether or not it is connected to the Internet.
If the digital receiver reboots, a new dynamic IP address will
be assigned to it. You had better assign a static IP address to
the digital receiver to avoid this inconvenience. As to how to
assign a static IP address, refer to the manual of your router.
As to how to specify a static IP address on the digital receiver,
see §8.2.
You can let the router automatically as-
sign a dynamic IP address to the com-
puters or devices connected to the net-
work by enabling the DHCP server of
the router. In this case, you can access
the digital receiver with the IP address
which is assigned to the digital receiver
by the router.
