Sangean WFR-2D V.1 - Manual (Page 18)

Manual network configuration
If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic configuration, or if your network is configured with
a hidden SSID, then you will need to enter some network settings manually. (Note - a hidden
SSID may prevent casual observers from detecting your network, but it is not recommended as a
means of network security.)
1. From the radios 'Settings'>'Network settings' menu, touch Manual settings. You must then choose
whether to connect using 'Wired' or 'Wireless' connections. If you choose 'Wireless' there are as
many as eleven settings screens, shown by the '1 of 11' progress marker at the top of the display.
If you choose 'Wired' there are seven screens and the progress marker will reflect this, although
the steps to set up the network parameters are basically the same.
2. The next menu asks whether you wish to use DHCP to configure your network parameters (IP
address, subnet mask, gateway address, etc.). Unless you are familiar with networking and
related terminology, we recommend that you allow the use of DHCP. Choose DHCP Yes unless
you need to specify the network details manually.
If you have chosen 'Wired' and then DHCP Yes, your radio should now establish a connection
to the router using the Ethernet cable. Please skip to step 11 on page 20.
If you chose 'Wireless' and DHCP Yes, please skip to step 6 in order to set up the wireless
connection details. If you chose DHCP No for either connection method, the next step is to set
up the IP address.
3. The manually specified IP address should be chosen to be compatible with the settings in your
router and must be a unique address on your network. If you are using DHCP for some devices
and static (manually configured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside
the range that the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the first three groups of digits will
be the same for all devices on your network (Text entry is described on page 11). The display
may show an address of 0.0.0.0. To delete a character touch backspace. To clear, touch and
hold the backspace. Use digits and fullstop to enter the IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.25. Touch
the tick symbol to confirm. When the IP address has been entered, the subnet mask should be
entered. The subnet mask defines which parts of the IP address are common across your network.
For most small networks the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 and this is entered in the same way.
4. The Gateway address is normally the IP address of the router through which the radio connects
to the internet and is entered in the same way as the previous address.
