Connecting to a Network
When connected to a network that has a DHCP function, settings for the DN-900R such as the IP
address are configured automatically. When connected to a network that does not have a DHCP
function, you need to configure settings such as the IP address and DNS server in the System
Setting menu.
Note: When configuring the network settings manually, contact your network administrator for
the necessary setting details.
Required equipment:
• Broadband Internet connection (only required if connecting to an NTP time server)
• Router: We recommend using a router equipped with a built-in DHCP server and a built-in
100BASE-TX switch. When connecting multiple devices, we recommend a switching hub
with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.
• Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended): Use only a shielded STP or ScTP LAN
cable.
If you are using an Internet service on which network settings are made manually or with no
DHCP function, adjust the settings directly from the Network Setup menu. When adjusting
network settings manually, confirm the settings with your network administrator.
Do not connect the Ethernet cable from DN-900R directly to the LAN port/Ethernet
connector on your computer. When connecting to a network that has no DHCP function,
manually adjust the settings in the System Setting menu.
To manually set up a static network connection (no DHCP)
1. Connect a shielded-type Ethernet cable. If a flat-type cable or unshielded-type cable is
used, other devices could be affected by noise.
2. Power on DN-900R.
3. Press Menu. The menu list is displayed.
4. Rotate the jog dial to select System Setting, and press Enter.
5. Set the IP Address to Static. The currently set IP Address is displayed.
6. Specify the appropriate IP address, turning the jog dial and using the Search+ and Search-
to move the cursor. Press Frame to delete the previously entered number. Press Back to
cancel the settings.
7. Press Enter when finished entering the numbers. The screen returns to the System Setting
menu.
In the same way, enter the “Subnet Mask”, “Gateway” and “DNS Server” addresses. When the
network settings are adjusted, press the Menu button. The unit will restart automatically after the
network settings are changed.
