Connecting the DN-V755 to a Computer
To access the user application that allows you to control your DN-V755, you must connect
your unit to a computer. You can connect to a computer in any of the following ways:
•
Through a corporate network
•
Through a home network using a router or switch
•
Directly to a computer using an Ethernet cross-over cable
In most cases, once you connect to a computer and turn the unit on, the unit is ready to use.
Whether connected through a network or directly to your computer, the unit appears as an
external network drive on the computer's file system in a special folder called Workgroup.
The unit's default name is MediaPlayer followed by four digits, such as 1234.
Note You can rename the unit, or configure network settings manually, once you have
access to the application. For information, see
Connecting to a Network or Computer
More often than not, you can connect your DN-V755 to a corporate or home network in two
easy steps:
1. Connect the DN-V755 to the network using the Ethernet RJ-45 terminal on the rear of the
unit.
If you are not connected to a network, use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the unit
directly to your computer.
2. Turn the unit on.
The DN-V755 automatically configures its network settings and communicates with the
network or computer without you having to do anything further.
Next, you can access the unit on your network or computer.
