6 DSR1021/1022 Switch Installer/User Guide
Installation Overview
The general procedure for setting up and installing the DSR1021/1022 switch is as follows:
Setting up your network
The DSR1021/1022 switching system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the switch and the
target devices. The DSR1021/1022 switch supports both Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and static IP addressing. Avocent recommends that IP addresses be reserved for each
switch and that they remain static while the DSR1021/1022 switches are connected to the network.
For additional information on setting up the DSR1021/1022 switch using the DSView 3 software,
and for information on how the DSR1021/1022 switch uses TCP/IP, see the DSView Installer/User
Guide or DSView 3 Online Help.
