The Console Menu

Each DSR1021/1022 switch can be configured at the appliance level through the Console menu
interface accessed through the SETUP port on the back panel of the switch. You can access all
terminal commands through a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software.
NOTE: Avocent does not recommend this method for setting options for the DSR1021/1022 switch. The
preferred method is to make all configuration settings except those for the web server in the DSView 3 software.
The web server can be configured only through the Console menu interface.
See the DSView Installer/User Guide or DSView 3 Online Help for more information on configuring the
DSR1021/1022 switch.

Network Configuration

To configure network settings using the Console menu:
1. When you power on your DSR1021/1022 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 as shown in Figure 6.1 on
page 72.
NOTE: The terminal can be connected at any time, even when the switch is already powered on.
