8.1 Configuring the router 81
NOTE
The web server and FTP server of the digital receiver don’t
work in standby mode. So it must be powered up all the time
if you wish to use the web service at any time.
8.1 Configuring the router
In this section, the setup program of WRT54G, which is a router
manufactured by Linksys, will be referred to as an exemplary
to help your understanding of how to configure the router for
network connection.
NOTE
For detailed description about how to set up the router, refer
to the manual of your router.
8.1.1 To access within the local area network
Once your router is powered up, a local area network gets
created whether or not it is connected to the Internet.
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.
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 .
