Configuring for In-band Connectivity

In-band connectivity allows you to access the D-Link DES-3226L from a remote workstation using the Ethernet network. To use in-band connectivity, you must configure the DES-3226L with IP information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).

Configure for In-band connectivity using one of the following methods:

zBootP or DHCP

zRS-232 port
