ELAN HOME SYSTEMS

INSTALLATION MANUAL

1. From the Main Menu select Settings

2. From the Settings menu select Internet Access

3. From the Internet Access menu confirm that the Access Mode is set to Ethernet. If it is

not, press Edit and select Ethernet.

4. Press < Back to return to the System Settings menu.

5. From the System Settings menu select Ethernet Settings

6. From the Ethernet Settings menu select Mode and press Edit

At this point, you will have to choose what mode of operation the VIA!dj will use:

A: Router or Gateway with DHCP Server Software (FACTORY DEFAULT)

If a router containing DHCP server software is used, set the Mode in the Ethernet Settings

menu to DHCP. DHCP is the default factory setting. The IP Address, IP Mask, and

Gateway settings will be automatically assigned to the VIA!dj by the router. Just plug in the

RJ-45 and that’s it! You will notice in the VIA!dj’s Ethernet Settings menu that the IP

Address, IP Mask, and Gateway are all set automatically and now say Assigned IP

Address, Assigned IP Mask, and Assigned Gateway. This is the function of the DHCP

server software in the broadband router. If these fields are blank or the connection does not

seem to be working, a simple re-boot of the VIA!dj should correct this.

B: Manual Settings

If the home does not have a router containing DHCP server software, or if there is a reason

that the IP address must be set manually, then the four settings above will have to be entered

manually. The first step in this type of installation is to determine the network settings of all

PCs already on the network. It is important that the IP address that is chosen for the

VIA!dj does not conflict with IP addresses already assigned to other devices.

The necessary information can be found on any computer on the network by going to

Start>Settings>Control Panel>Network Settings or Network Connections.
