CONFIGURING THE VIA!dj FOR AN ETHERNET CONNECTION

Recommended Network Configuration

When connecting the VIA!dj to a broadband connection (Cable Modem or DSL), it is highly
recommended that an Ethernet router or gateway is used in the home network. In addition to the
security benefits of the firewall protection that the router provides, the router allows multiple
devices in the home to share a single IP address from the ISP. When choosing a router for the
installation, it is easiest and preferred to use hardware that contains DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server software for dynamic IP addressing of the home's network devices.

Configuring the VIA!dj's Ethernet Settings

In order to properly configure the VIA!dj to work with a broadband connection, the following
settings have to be entered either automatically (DHCP enabled router) or manually.
• IP Address
• IP Mask
• Gateway
• IP DNS
