DHCP
The Classic supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) in which all networking settings
are derived from a DHCP-enabled router. This is the simplest configuration method and
recommended unless you explicitly need a statically allocated IP address for your Classic. In this
mode all other settings are automatically configured and are read-only (informational), except for
the Web Access feature.
Depress MAIN MENU key.
Scroll to NET menu and depress the ENTER key.
Highlight and select DHCP.
Depress ENTER key to save changes.
NOTE: The Classic’s DHCP protocol implementation usually takes a few seconds up to a minute to
update the network settings. If the network settings do not update within a minute, please consult
the troubleshooting section.
Static IP
The Classic supports static IP address allocation. In this mode you can assign the Classic a specific IP
address. This lets you set up things like port forwarding from your router or for networks with
static IP allocations.
Depress MAIN MENU key.
Scroll to NET menu and depress the ENTER key.
Highlight and select STATIC.
Using the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys, navigate to the settings to change and use the UP
and DOWN ARROW keys to adjust the desired fields.
Depress the ENTER key at any time to commit the settings to the Classic’s flash memory.
