Dell KVM 1081AD/ KVM 2161AD - Manual (Page 114)

106 xxx | Terminal Operation xxx
The terminal may be connected at any time, even when the switch is
already turned on.
2 Once the Console Main Menu is displayed, type the number corresponding
to Network Configuration and press <Enter>.
3 Type 1 and press <Enter> to set your network speed. For best performance,
set the SCS at the same speed as the Ethernet switch to which it is
attached. Press <Enter> to return to the Console Network Configuration
menu.
4 Type 2 and press <Enter> to specify whether you are using a static or
DHCP address.
A static IP configuration may be used to provide a user-defined IP
address, netmask, or prefix length, and default gateway for the SCS.
DHCP is a protocol that automates the configuration of TCP/IP-
enabled computers. When DHCP is selected, the IP address, netmask
or prefix length, and default gateway settings are automatically assigned
to the SCS and may not be modified by a switch user.
If you are using the DHCP option, configure your DHCP device to
provide an IP address to the switch and then go to step 6.
5 Select the remaining options from the Network Configuration menu to
finish the configuration of your SCS with an IP address, netmask or prefix
length, and default gateway.
6 Type 0 (zero) and press <Enter> to return to the Console Main menu.
Other Console Main Menu Options
Besides the Network Configuration option, the Console Main Menu of the SCS
features the following menu items: Firmware Management, Enable Debug
Messages, Set/Change Password, Restore Factory Defaults, Reset Switch, Set
Web Interface Ports, and Exit. Each menu item is discussed in this section.
