4.Type 1 and press Enter to set your network speed and return to the Network Configuration menu. When possible, set your connection manually without relying on the auto negotiate feature.
5.Type 2 and press Enter to specify whether you are using a static or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address.
•A static IP address can be used to provide a user-defined IP address, netmask and default gateway for the DSR1021/1022 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 DSR1021/1022 switch and cannot 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 DSR1021/1022 switch and then skip step 6.
6.Select the remaining options from the Network Configuration menu, in turn, to finish configuring your DSR1021/1022 switch for IP address, netmask, default gateway and ping response.
7.Type 0 (zero) and press Enter to return to the Console Main menu.
