Step 14 At the Use Static IP Address [Yes]: prompt, type Y for yes or N for No, and then press Enter.
Note To set or change the IP address of your ACS SE, it must be connected to a working Ethernet
connection.
Note A static IP address must be assigned to your ACS SE. You can set the IP address directly by
answering Y to this step and performing the substeps detailed in
Step 15. Alternatively, you may
use a DHCP address if it assigns a single IP address that does not change.
Step 15 The following prompts appear only if you set a static IP address manually. Otherwise the following
message appears:
No change to the configuration.
Accept network setting [Yes]
a. To specify the ACS SE IP address, at the IP Address [xx.xx.xx.xx]: prompt, type the IP address,
and then press Enter.
b. At the Subnet Mask [xx.xx.xx.xx]: prompt, type the subnet mask value, and then press Enter.
c. At the Default Gateway [xx.xx.xx.xx]: prompt, type the default gateway value, and then press
Enter.

connected to the ACS SE, and then press Enter.
