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 at all times 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
created 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. For how to assign
a static IP address, refer to the manual of your router. For how
to specify a static IP address on the digital receiver, see § 8.2.
8.1 Configuring the router 55
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.
