How do I connect my media player to my network?

If your media player does not automatically connect to your network, use the steps below to connect to your LAN or WiFi network.

Upon installation of your digital menu player, you will need to configure it to connect to your local LAN or wireless network. This is a one-time process, as once the player is connected to your network, it should be able to automatically reconnect to that network upon player restart.

NOTE: YOU WILL NEED A KEYBOARD AND MOUSE.
They will need to be connected to your player in order to perform these steps.

Please go through the following steps:
