3. Type 1 and press Enter to set your network speed. When possible, you should set your
connection manually without relying on the auto negotiate feature. After you press
Enter, you
will be returned to the Network Configuration menu.
4. Type 2 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 AutoView 3100/3200 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 AutoView 3100/3200 switch and may not be modified by a user.
If you are using the DHCP option, please configure your DHCP server to provide an IP address
to the AutoView 3100/3200 switch and then skip step
5.
5. Select the remaining options from the Network Configuration menu to finish the
configuration of your AutoView 3100/3200 switch with an IP address, netmask, default
gateway and ping response.
6. Type 0 (zero) and press Enter to return to the Console Main menu.
