Setting up your network
The LCM8/LCM16 switching system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the switch and target
devices. The LCM8/LCM16 switch supports both Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
and static IP addressing. Make sure that an IP address is reserved for each switch and that each IP
address remains static while the switches are connected to the network.
Rack mounting an LCM8/LCM16 switch
Using the supplied rack mounting kit, you can mount the LCM8/LCM16 switch directly into an
Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard rack. LCM8/LCM16 switches can be rack-mounted
vertically or in a 1U configuration.
