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 to finish the configuration of your DSR switch with an IP address, netmask, default gateway and ping response.

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