Terminal Operations
The Console Menu
Each DSR switch may be configured at the appliance level through the Console menu interface
accessed through the SETUP port on the back of the switch. All terminal commands are accessed
through a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software.
NOTE: This is NOT the recommended method for setting options for the DSR switch. The preferred method is to
make all configuration settings in the DSView Server software. See the DSView Installer/User Guide for
more information.
Network Configuration
To configure network settings using the Console menu:
1. When you power up your DSR switch, the switch initializes for approximately one minute.
After it completes initialization, press any key on the terminal or on the PC running the
terminal emulation software to access the Console menu interface. Actually, the terminal may
be connected at any time, even when the switch is already powered.
