Network:
LAN Preference ** Change the preferred LAN connection: Cable or Auto (Via Powerline)
When ‘Cable’ is chosen, the Media Giant will always use the LAN port as network
connection.
When ‘Auto (Via Powerline)’ is chosen, the Media Giant will use the Powerline
feature if a Powerline network is available. If there is no Powerline network
available, the LAN port will be used.
Note: When the Media Giant is connected to both Powerline and LAN Cable , the default network will be
the Powerline network. When the performance of the Powerline network will decrease to below
1Mbps, the Media Giant automatically switches to Cable mode. During Cable mode, the Media
Giant will keep checking the Powerline network performance. When the performance increases to
above 1Mbps, the Media Giant will switch from Cable mode to Powerline mode.
Wired Lan Setup In the ‘Wired Lan Setup’, you can configure the IP address of the Media Giant.
When selected, you can choose between ‘Cancel’, ‘DHCP IP (Auto)’ or
‘Fix IP (Manual)’.
When you have a DHCP server in your network, select the option ‘DHCP IP’.
When you want to use a static IP address, select ‘FIX IP’.
The Setup Wizard will show you the fields to enter a static IP address. Use the

When the entered values are correct, press the ‘Enter’ button (26) on the remote
control.
