Local Console Manager LCM8 and LCM16 Installation and User's Guide
DHCP is a protocol that automates the configuration of TCP/IP-enabled computers. When
DHCP is selected, the IP address, netmask or prefix length, and default gateway settings are
automatically assigned to the LCM8/LCM16 switch and may not be modified by an LCM8/
LCM16 switch user.
If you are using the DHCP option, please configure your DHCP server to provide an IP address
to the LCM8/LCM16 switch and then skip to step 6.

Select the remaining options from the Network Configuration menu to finish the configuration
of your LCM8/LCM16 switch with an IP address, netmask or prefix length, and default
gateway.

Type 0 (zero) and press Enter to return to the Console Main menu.
Other Console Main Menu options
Besides the Network Configuration option, the Console Main Menu of the LCM8/LCM16 switch
features the following menu items: Firmware Management, Enable Debug Messages, Set/Change
Password, Restore Factory Defaults, Reset Appliance, Set Web Interface Ports, Input Web Server
Certificate, and Exit. Each menu item is discussed in this section.
Firmware Management
This menu contains the Flash Download selection. For more information, see Flash upgrades on

performance, only enable debug messages when instructed to do so by Technical Support. When
you are finished viewing the messages, press any key to exit this mode.
Set/Change Password
This menu option allows enabling and disabling of serial port security, which locks the serial port
with a user-defined password.

Reset Appliance
This menu option allows you to execute a soft reset of the LCM8/LCM16 switch.
Set Web Interface Ports
The LCM8/LCM16 switch uses ports 80 and 443 for HTTP and HTTPS port numbers, respectively.
The user can modify or specify alternate ports.
