Continuing Quick Start with a HomePNA Connection

See page 18 for more information on connecting Entré to your home network
using HomePNA.
If you selected homePNA in step 4 on page 26, Entré checks for a connected
HomePNA network before continuing the Quick Start setup. Once it finds the
network, the Quick Start - IP Addressing screen appears:
If there is no connected network detected, check your
HomePNA connections. Once the problem is resolved, press
to return to the Quick Start process.
Specify whether your network uses a dynamic or static IP address:
• Dynamic IP addresses, the most common type, use a range of addresses to
connect Entré to the Internet. ISPs typically assign a set number of
addresses to an account. Each Internet-connected device in your home also
connects using that range of addresses. Dynamic IP addressing means you
don't have to remember which IP addresses you've assigned to which
devices or computers. However, you must ensure that your Internet
account supports enough IP addresses to include all of your devices.
• Static IP address always connect Entré to the Internet using the same IP
address. Every Internet-connected device in your home (your computer, for
example) uses a different IP address. Using this method, you can be certain
which IP address Entré uses. However, you must keep track of which IP
addresses you assign when adding new devices.
If you're not sure what type of IP address your network uses, select Dynamic.
