1. Set the internal IP Address and Gateway to the device
Connect the device to the WiFi router
Go to the device, Menu --> Comm. --> Ethernet
Turn on DHCP, and if you can see the IP address and Gateway are NOT 0.0.0.0, that means your network is working.
Mark down the Gateway and turn OFF DHCP
Enter the Gateway
Enter the IP Address, for which the first 3 set numbers are the same as the Gateway. E.g. Gateway is 192.168.0.1, then you can set the IP Address as 192.168.0.101
