3. Type 1 and press Enter to set your network speed. When possible, you should set your

connection manually without relying on the auto negotiate feature. After you press

Enter, you

will be returned to the Network Configuration menu.

4. Type 2 and press Enter to specify whether you are using a static or Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address. A static IP address may be used to provide a user-

defined IP address, netmask and default gateway for the DSR switch. Avocent recommends

using a static IP address for ease of configuration. DHCP is a protocol that automates the

configuration of TCP/IP-enabled computers. When DHCP is selected, the IP Address,

Netmask and Default Gateway settings are automatically assigned to the DSR switch and may

not be modified by a DS user. If you are using the DHCP option, please configure your DHCP

server to provide an IP address to the DSR switch and then skip step 5.

5. Select the remaining options from the Network Configuration menu, in turn, to finish

configuring your DSR switch for IP address, netmask, default gateway and ping

response.

6. Type 0 (zero) and press Enter to return to the Console Main menu.
