Can the Internet be accessed while projecting through the PC-on-TV device?
The Internet can be accessed either through the computer, the PC-on-TV device, or a wireless access point (if one
already exists while being projected onto the display).
If the Internet is accessed via the PC-on-TV device, it is advised that the Ethernet cable be connected to the PC-on-TV
device before it is powered up.
Note the following special cases:
• The Ethernet port on the board can have DHCP enabled or STATIC addresses. This can be accomplished from
within the PC-on-TV device application.
• Port 80 should be open on the LAN to allow access to the Internet.
• Port 21 should be open on the LAN to allow PC-on-TV device firmware updates.
• The DHCP allocation range is 10.0.0.2 through 10.0.0.254 (IP/subnet of PC-on-TV device Ethernet port should
be different than 10.0.0.x).
The PC-on-TV device Ethernet port has a ‘dummy’ MAC address by default. During the manufacturing process,
each device is programmed with a unique MAC address. This is necessary to avoid MAC address conflict and
improper operation of the device. Note that with a dummy MAC address, there may be some computers which
may not be able to connect to the device.
