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 DSR1021/1022 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 DSR1021/1022 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 DSR1021/1022 switch and then skip step
6.
6. Select the remaining options from the Network Configuration menu, in turn, to finish
configuring your DSR1021/1022 switch for IP address, netmask, default gateway and ping
response.
7. Type 0 (zero) and press Enter to return to the Console Main menu.
