status is displayed on the Main screen. PortVision DX cannot poll
unmanaged switches to determine whether they are on-line or not.
Network Settings Description
IP Mode
Managed RocketLinx Switches:
•
DHCP IP Configures the RocketLinx to use DHCP. If you click DHCP IP,
the IP Address text box is disabled and set to 0.0.0.0.
See your System Administrator to acquire a unique reserved IP address if
you are using DHCP. They need the MAC address of the unit to provide
you with an IP address.
•
Static IP Configures the RocketLinx with the static IP address
information that you provide in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Default Gateway fields.
Unmanaged RocketLinx Switches: This is an inactive field because
unmanaged switches do not use IP addresses.

changes and rebooting the RocketLinx.
