Connecting A Home Network - Toshiba 55XL700A Owner's Manual

Connecting a home network

The LAN port allows your Toshiba TV to connect to
your home network� You can use this revolutionary home
entertainment networking system to access photo, video
and audio files that are stored on a DLNA CERTIFIED™
server and play/display them on your TV�
Notes:
• The TV's home network connection allows access
to file sharing only. You will NOT be able to use the
TV to access the Internet.
• If you connect to a shared-network outside your
home, please use the router, and use DLNA in a
private network environment.
• If you use a Hub or switch to connect the TV to
your home network, you may not be able to use the
automatic setup and have to manually set up the
network address ( - page 51).
• If you use a router with built-in DHCP functionality,
use the automatic setup. Manual setup may not
work.
• If you connect the TV and PC directly, use a
crossover LAN cable.

If you use the Gooseneck cable to connect the
WLAN adaptor;
Gently bend the Gooseneck cable
to adjust the angle.
The gooseneck cable can be adjusted
so it is not seen from the front.
However, adjust the angle properly to
get a stable reception condition.
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the
[2][3]
distance over which wireless LAN can reach may vary
depending on surrounding electromagnetic environment,
obstacles, access point design and configuration, and client
design and software/hardware configurations. The actual
transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical
maximum speed�
The USB socket has limited functionality and Toshiba
can take no responsibility for damage to other connected
equipment� The USB 2 socket has to be used with the
"TOSHIBA Dual Band WLAN Adaptor WLU5022(RoHS)
D A (supplied as an accessor)" in order to access a
wireless network�
You must use the TOSHIBA Wireless LAN device to
ensure correct operation of this feature� This feature is
