To access the Base Station via the Internet, you 
need to set its IP address and make DNS settings.

The [Internet Connection] frame allows you to set 
an IP address for your Base Station, according to 
your network environment. You can also check the 
Base Station’s MAC address for the wired LAN. 
To determine the address to set, contact your 
contracted ISP to the operating instructions of 
your modem or router.

If you change the IP address in the [Internet 
Connection] frame and then click [Set] while you are 
connected using a router, you will no longer be able to 
access the [Base Station Settings] screen because the IP 
address changes. To open the [Base Station Settings] 
screen, click [Base Station Settings] on the [Base 
Station Selection] screen of the LocationFree Player.

Select whether to assign an IP address to the 
Base Station automatically, using the DHCP 
function of your router or modem, or to assign 
an IP address manually.
If you select [Automatic IP Address 
Configuration (DHCP)], the router’s DHCP 
server will automatically assign the [IP 
address], [Subnet mask] and [Default 
gateway]. 
If you select [Manual], contact your 
contracted ISP to assign the proper values in 
the [IP address], [Subnet mask], [Default 
gateway] and [Host name] fields.
At the time of purchase, this item is set to 
[Automatic IP Address Configuration 
(DHCP)].
