the new password

3.3 Network IP address
It is time to enter an IP address for the principal 10/100 LAN port on the Console Server; or enable its
DHCP client so that it automatically obtains an IP address from a DHCP server on the network to which it
is to be connected.
On the System: IP menu select the Network Interface page then check DHCP or static for the
Configuration Method
If you select static you must manually enter the new IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and
DNS server details. This selection automatically disables the DHCP client
