2.1.2Setting up the network

The KVM s3-1621 and KVM s3-1641 appliances and KVM-IAs use IP addresses to uniquely identify the appliances and the target devices. These appliances support both Dynamic Host configuration Protocol (DHCP) and static IP addressing. To avoid confusion, have IP addresses that are reserved for each appliance and remain static while the appliances are connected to the network. For additional information on setting up the KVM s3-1621 and KVM s3-1641 appliances using the KVM s3 Client, and for information on how the KVM s3-1621 and KVM s3-1641 appliances use TCP/IP, see the KVM s3 Client Installation and User’s Guide.
