to set your network speed. When possible, you should set your

and press
Enter
to specify whether you are using a static or Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address. A static IP address may be used to provide a user-
defined IP address, netmask and default gateway for the DSR 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 DSR switch and may
not 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 DSR switch and then skip step 5.
5. Select the remaining options from the Network Configuration menu, in turn, to finish
configuring your DSR switch for IP address, netmask, default gateway and
ping response.
