7.1.1 Information on Extended Network Settings
You can assign static network settings to the Sunny WebBox or obtain these dynamically via a DHCP
server. Additionally, a proxy server can be used for the internet connection.
If you would like to make the Sunny WebBox available in the internet, for example to allow direct
access to the Sunny WebBox via Sunny Portal, you must configure port redirection in your router. It
may be necessary to adjust the HTTP port and the NAT port.
7.1.2 Activating/Deactivating DHCP

Protocol). If activated, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS server are obtained
automatically from the DHCP server during the start of the Sunny WebBox. Use the Sunny WebBox
Assistant to find the Sunny WebBox in your network.

Changing extended network settings
Do not change any network settings in the network devices if you are not clear on the
effects of the change. Changes to values could lead to the existing network not functioning
or only partially functioning. If you have any questions, contact your network administrator.
