6.6.1 Information on Integrating the Sunny WebBox into a Local
Network
The next sections describe how to integrate the Sunny WebBox via static network settings into your
local network with a router.
In rare cases, further network settings are necessary. Examples of further network settings include
integrating the Sunny WebBox via DHCP into your network, or making the Sunny WebBox accessible
via the Internet. If this is the case, contact your network administrator and refer to section
10.3"Ethernet Network" (page62).
6.6.2 Configuring the Static Network Settings of the Sunny
WebBox
1. Select "WebBox > Settings > Network" in the Sunny WebBox user interface.
2. In the "Obtain IP address" field, select the value "Static".

reachable in the local network (see section 15.1"Allocating an IP Address in a Local Network"
(page85)).
4. Enter the subnet mask of your network in the "Subnet mask" field. Normally, you can find this
information in the router manual.
