3.4 Network Settings
You can configure network settings in this section and enable several powerful applications of the AN2L, e.g. Multimedia Station, Download Station, and Web Server.
3.4.1 TCP/ IP Configuration
You can select one of the following two methods to configure the TCP/IP settings of the AN2L.
1. Obtain IP address settings automatically via DHCP
If your network supports DHCP, the AN2L will use DHCP protocol to retrieve the IP address and related information automatically.
2. Use static IP address
To use fixed IP address for network connection, enter fixed IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
Primary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of primary DNS server that provides DNS service for the AN2L in external network.
Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of secondary DNS server that provides DNS service for the AN2L in external network.

Note:
1. Please contact your ISP or network administrator for the IP address of primary and secondary DNS servers. When THE AN2L plays the role as a terminal and needs to perform independent connection, e.g. BT download, you must enter at least one DNS server IP for proper URL connection. Otherwise, the function may not work properly.
2. If you select to obtain IP address via DHCP, there is no need to configure the primary and secondary DNS servers. You can enter “0.0.0.0” in the settings.
Enable DHCP Server
If no DHCP is available in the LAN where THE AN2L locates, you can enable this function to enable THE AN2L as a DHCP server and allocate dynamic IP address to DHCP clients in
LAN.
You can set the range of IP addresses allocated by DHCP server and the lease time. Lease time refers to time that IP address is leased to the clients by DHCP server. When the time expires, the client has to acquire an IP address again.
For example, to establish a DLNA network, and share the multimedia files on the AN2L to
DLNA DMP via UPnP while there is no NAT gateway that supports DHCP server, you can enable DHCP server of the AN2L. The AN2L will allocate dynamic IP address to DMP or other clients automatically and set up a local network.
Note: If there is an existing DHCP server in your LAN, do not enable this function.
Otherwise, there will be IP address allocation and network access errors.

Jumbo Frame Settings (MTU)
"Jumbo Frames" refer to Ethernet frames that are larger than 1500 bytes. It is designed to enhance Ethernet networking throughput and reduce the CPU utilization of large file transfers by enabling more efficient larger payloads per packet.
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) refers to the size (in bytes) of the largest packet that a given layer of a communications protocol can transmit.
The AN2L uses standard Ethernet frames: 1500 bytes by default. If your network appliances support Jumbo Frame setting, select the appropriate MTU value for your network environment.
The AN2L supports 4074, 7418, and 9000 bytes for MTU.
Note: Jumbo Frame setting is valid in Gigabit network environment only. Besides, all network appliances connected must enable Jumbo Frame and use the same
MTU value.
