Setting up your network

The DSR system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the DSAuthentication Server, the DSR units and the computers running DSView. The DSR supports both bootP (a subset of DHCP) and Static IP addressing. Avocent recommends that IP addresses be reserved for each unit and that they remain static while the DSR units are connected to the network. For additional information on how the DSR uses the TCP protocol, see Appendix D.
