Network Config
This menu
enables
you
to
set your NP30's
network settings, scan again for a
connection
to
another wireless
network,
or
to
manually
configure
the
network
parameters. This is
useful
if
you move your
NP30
to
a new
location
for
instance.
By
default
the
NP30 will
be
set
for Automatic wired/ wireless detection and
automatic
IP
addressing
(DHCP)
which
will
work
without
setup in most
circumstances (for Wi-Fi you
will
need
to
enter your
WEP
/
WPA
key
if
you have
one).
In
Auto mode
the
NP30 will look
for a wired connection
first
and then scan
for
wireless connections
if it
doesn't find one.
It
will also
try
to
obtain an
IP
address
automatically from your router/DHCP
server.
If
you wish
to
make changes
to
your setup
the
NP30 displays
the
following
submenus.

This
menu
firstly displays
the
IP
mode (static
or
dynamic).
Th
is
will
be
Auto/
DHCP
(i.e. dynamic, this is the
default)
or
alternatively Static
IP.
For
either
mode by
turning
the
Navigation/Select dial
the
NP30 will scro
ll
through
the
various
current
IP
parameters,
for
instance
the
ESSID
of
the
current wireless
network, Wired and
Wireless
MAC
addresses, c
urr
ent
IP
address, (Sub)Netmask, Gateway address etc.
Edit Config
This menu
allows
the
selection
of
IP
mode between
stat
ic
or
dynamic
(Auto/DHCP). Auto/DHCP is recommended for
most
people
in
most
circumstances.
Static
IP
requires quite a
bit
of
knowledge
about
IP
networks,
and is for advanced users
only.
The
default setting is
thus
Auto
1
DHCP
,
here
the
NP
30
obtains i
ts
IP
address
each
time
you switch
in
on by a process
called
DHCP
which means
it
is
diff
erent each time
it
is acquired. This process is
completely
automatic and
much
simpler
than
implementing Static I
P.
However sometimes
it
is
useful (especially
in
large
networks) to know the exact
IP
address
of
each device,
this
can
only
be done by using static
IP.
When using Static
IP
you
will also
need
to
enter
the
network mask
yo
u wish
to
use and the addresses
of
your gateway and
DNS
service, note there is no way
for Cambridge Audio
to
know what these are in your network.
Only sel
ect
static
IP
if
you know
exactly
what you are doing!
To
set
static
IP,
select
the
'Se
ttin
gs
>
Network config
>
Edit Config' menu and
then
press
SELECT.
The
NP30 will
now
display
'Auto
(DHCP)?
YES
1
NO'.
Turn
the
NP30's rotary
dial
to
select 'NO'
and then press
SELECT.
