IP Address
The KVM Over the NET
TM
switch can either have its IP address assigned
dynamically (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.
For dynamic IP address assignment, select the Obtain IP address
automatically radio button. (This is the default setting.)
To specify a fixed IP address, select the Set IP address manually radio
button and fill in the IP address with values appropriate for your network.
Note: 1. If you choose Obtain IP address automatically, when the switch starts
up it waits to get its IP address from the DHCP server. If it hasn’t
obtained the address after one minute, it automatically reverts to its
factory default IP address (192.168.0.60.)
2. If the switch is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network
addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, see IP Address
Determination, page 208, for information./
DNS Server
For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS
Server address automatically radio button.
To specify the DNS Server address manually, select the Set DNS server
address manually radio button, and fill in the addresses for the Preferred
and Alternate DNS servers with values appropriate for your network.
Note: Specifying at the preferred DNS Server address is optional.
Network Transfer Rate
This setting allows you to tailor the size of the data transfer stream to match
network traffic conditions by setting the rate at which the KVM Over the
NET
TM
switch transfers data between the itself and the client computers. The
range is from 4–99999 Kilobytes per second (KBps).
Finishing Up
After making any network changes, be sure Reset on exit on the Customization
page (see Customization, page 138) has been enabled (there is a check in the
checkbox), before logging out. This allows network changes to take effect
without having to power the switch off and on.
