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.
