Configuring the Ethernet settings for Web-based remote access: If you have an accessible, active, and configured dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server on the network, the hostname, IP address, gateway address, subnet mask, and DNS server IP address are set automatically. You do not need to perform further configuration tasks to enable the Ethernet connection because the default value for the DHCP Setting field is Enabled. If you need to configure the management port, go to “Configuring the management port for text-based remote access” on page 58; otherwise, go to “Installing Advanced System Management device drivers” on page 61.

If you do not have a DHCP server on the network, complete the following steps to configure the Ethernet settings.

1.With the server turned off, insert the diskette with the downloaded utility program into the diskette drive; then, turn on the server. The utility starts automatically, displaying the Remote Supervisor Utility window.

2.Use the arrow keys to select Configuration Settings; then, press Enter. The Configuration Settings window opens.
