3.
Type 1 and press Enter to set the network speed. You should set the connection manually
without relying on the auto negotiate feature. After pressing Enter, you are 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 can be used to provide a user-
defined IP address, netmask, and default gateway for the appliance. Use 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 appliance and cannot be modified by a user. If you are using
the DHCP option, configure the DHCP target device to provide an IP address to the appliance
and then skip step 5.
5. Select the remaining options from the Network Configuration menu to finish the
configuration of the appliance with an IP address, netmask, default gateway, and ping
response.
6.
Type 0 (zero) and press Enter to return to the Console Main menu. The appliance will then
reboot.
Other Console Main menu options
Besides the Network Configuration option, the Console Main menu of the appliance has the
following menu items: Security Configuration, Firmware Management, Enable Debug Messages,
Restore Factory Defaults, Reset Appliance, and Exit. Each is discussed in the following section.
Security Configuration
Console Password: Enable or disable the console password using security for the console (access
requires an Admin account).
In the event that you forgot the password, type Help. You will be given a one time use key to
supply to technical support, who will then supply you with a one time use password that you can
use to access the Serial Port.
Firmware Management
This menu contains the FLASH Download selection. For more information, see "Appendix A"
beginning on page 45.
Enable Debug Messages
This menu option turns on console status messages. Because this can significantly reduce
performance, you should 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.
Restore Factory Defaults
This menu option will restore all appliance options to the default settings.
