[If you wish to use a certain IP]
If an IP address is provided by the network administrator or there is a specic IP address
user would like to use, select ‘Manual IP Set-up’ and enter the IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway and DNS address.
• IP address: Enter desired IP address.
• Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask that suits the current network environment.
• Default Gateway: Dene the outgoing route. If no gateway exists on the network,
enter the IP address.
• Default DNS server address: The DNS handles conversions between domain names
and IP addresses. If the DNS is not correctly congured, e-mails, DDNSs or domains
will not function normally.
• Secondary DNS server address: Enter the secondary DNS server address.
* If accurate values are unknown, please contact the internet service provider (ISP) or the
network administrator.
[To acquire an IP address automatically]
In order to acquire an IP address automatically, select ‘Acquire IP address automatically
(DHCP)’. This option may used if there is a DHCP server (or internet router) within the
network. Once the DHCP option is activated, the connection with the web menu will be
terminated and a new IP address should be conrmed through the LCD screen or the
LG Network Storage Detector program. DHCP set-up will regularly renew the user’s IP
address from the DHCP server, causing unintended IP address changes, and require close
attention.
In the case that it is set up for automatic IP address without a DHCP server within the
network, a Link Local address such as 169.254.XXX.XXX will automatically be set up
automatically. This can be used when the PC and network cable are directly connected
and the PC’s address is also set up to ‘Acquire IP address automatically’.
