Connecting Your TV to a Wireless or Wired Network 
You have the option to connect your TV to a wireless or wired network to\
 access the Internet. For more information about 
the network settings on TV, see Network Menu on page 19.
Connecting to a wireless network  
Our built-in wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n communi\
cation protocols and we recommend that 
you use an IEEE 802.11n router. When you play a video over an IEEEE 802.\
11 b/g connection, the video may not play 
smoothly.
NOTES
•	
You must use the SHARP built-in Wireless LAN Adapter to use a wireless n\
etwork because the set does not 
support an external USB network adapter.
•	 To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sh\
arer. If the wireless IP sharer supports 
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), your TV can use a DHCP or \
static IP address to connect to the 
wireless network.
•	 Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being \
used. If the channel set for the wireless IP 
sharer is currently being used by another device nearby, this will resul\
t in interference and communication failure.
•	 If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it w\
ill not work with the TV.
•	 If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11N mode is selected and the \
Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP 
or TKIP-AES (WPS2 Mixed) for your Access Point (AP), then the SHARP TV will not support a connection in 
compliance with these Wi-Fi certification specifications.
•	 If	 your	 access	 point	(AP)	supports	 Wi-Fi	Protected	 Setup	(WPS),	 you	can	 connect	 to	the	 network	 via	Push	 Button	
Configuration (PBC) or PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS wil\
l automatically configure the SSID 
  and WPA key in either mode.
Connecting to a wired (Ethernet) network
You can attach your TV to your LAN in one of the three following ways:
 
Option 1
You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the bac\
k of your TV to an external modem using a 
Cat 5 LAN cable. See the illustration below.

ENGLISHFRAN
						

							10
 Option 2
You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the  LAN port on the back of your TV to an IP Sharer which is 
connected to an external modem. Use an Ethernet cable for the connection\
. See the illustration below.
  Option 3
Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach y\
our TV to your LAN by connecting the  LAN
 
port on the back of your TV directly to a network wall outlet with an Et\
hernet cable. See the diagram below. 
If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration 
Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically pr\
ovide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, 
and DNS, so you don’t have to enter them manually. Most home networks\
 are Dynamic Networks.
Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a St\
atic IP address, you must enter the IP address, 
subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setu\
p Screen when you set up the network 
connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values, \
contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
NOTE
•	 You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a sta\
tic IP address. ADSL modems that 
support DHCP also let you use static IP addresses.
