on which network settings are made manually,
make the settings at “Network connecting

functions to make the network settings automatically.
•When using this unit with the broadband router’s DHCP
function enabled, this unit automatically performs the IP

with no DHCP function, make the settings for
the IP address, etc., at “Network connecting
