Connecting to an Ethernet source with Static IP enabled

This is a special case when connecting to an Ethernet source.
Prerequisites: The display is connected to the network using an Ethernet cable.
  1. Turn the display on and boot the source.
    There is no DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) so the Connection Type window opens.
  2. Tap ETHERNET.
    The Wireless & networks view opens.
