Setting an IP address
The display can be connected to a network with 
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN cable.
When connected to a LAN, the IP addresses of the 
display can be set using one of the following two 
methods. Consult your network administrator 
regarding details about IP address selection.
• Assigning a fixed IP address to the display
Normally this method should be used.
• Automatically obtaining an IP address
If the network to which the display is connected has 
a DHCP server, you can have the DHCP server 
automatically assign an IP address. Note that in this 
case the IP address may change every time the 
display in which the display is installed is turned on.
Before setting the IP address, connect the LAN cable 
to the display to establish the network. After about 30 
seconds, turn on the display, and then start making the 
desired settings.
