ETHERNET SETTINGS
Ethernet is the preferred networking choice which provides you with the best network performance
and allows your FireBall to act as a “server” to deliver your music collection throughout your home
network using the optional FireBall Music Players.
Ethernet networks require that you configure each device on the network with a valid “address”.
These addresses are usually configured automatically by your network hardware. If your PC is
setup using Dynamic or “DHCP” addressing, you should most likely use the same for your FireBall.
Connect your FireBall to your Ethernet network using the included Ethernet cable and then
follow these steps to specify your Ethernet settings:
1. Press the SETUP key on the remote to display the Setup menu.
2. Select the
NETWORK Menu
3. Select the
ETHERNET SETTINGS Menu
4. Select Dynamic for automatic address configuration or Static if you want to manually enter
your TCP/IP address information.
If you select Static TCP/IP addressing, you will need to obtain a valid IP address, subnet mask,
DNS server, and gateway addresses from your network administrator.
