4. Type 1 and press Enter to set your network speed and return to the Network Configuration
menu. When possible, set your connection manually without relying on the auto negotiate
feature.
5. Type 2 and press Enter to specify whether you are using a static or Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address.
• A static IP address can be used to provide a user-defined IP address, netmask and default
gateway for the DSR10241024 switch. Avocent recommends using a static IP address for
ease of configuration.
• DHCP is a protocol that automates the configuration of TCP/IP-enabled computers. When
DHCP is selected, the IP Address, Netmask and Default Gateway settings are
automatically assigned to the DSR10241024 switch and cannot be modified by a DS user.
If you are using the DHCP option, please configure your DHCP server to provide an IP
address to the DSR10241024 switch and then skip step 6.
6. Select the remaining options from the Network Configuration menu, in turn, to finish
configuring your DSR10241024 switch for IP address, netmask, default gateway and ping
response.
7. Type 0 (zero) and press Enter to return to the Console Main menu.
