Router

Computer

Main unit

Environment in use

You must install CyberLink Media Server from the
bundled CD-ROM to your computer.
CyberLink Media Server is a software for sending video, audio and still picture files stored on

manually configure the IP address of the main unit
by simply connecting a router with a DHCP function to the main unit. The DHCP function of the
router automatically assigns the IP address to the
main unit.
NOTE
• If the router does not have a DHCP function or
you do not use the DHCP function, you must
assign the IP address to the main unit manually.
• You can also use the network function by connecting the main unit to the computer directly.
(Refer to page 19.)

Confirming the connection to the computer

If “CyberLink Media Server” is not displayed
The main unit may not detect the CyberLink Media
Server for any of the following reasons.
Determine the reason by referring to A and B
shown below.
A The Ethernet cable may not be connected properly.
Possible cause:
The Ethernet cable may be of the wrong
type (a crossover cable may be used) or
may not be connected securely.
Possible solution:
Refer to “Connecting the main unit to the
router” on page 6 to check that the Ethernet cable is a straight-through cable and is
connected securely.
B You may be using a router that requires
the IP addresses to be set up manually.
Possible cause:
The router connected to the main unit may
not have a DHCP function that assigns the
IP addresses automatically. Another possibility is that the IP addresses may be
assigned manually without using the
DHCP function of the router.
Possible solution:
The IP address of the main unit must be
set up manually. Click [Cancel] to close the
display on the computer screen and exit
CyberLink Media Server. Next, assign the
IP address to the main unit referring to
“Setting up the IP address” on page 11.
