Network IP Address

It is time to enter an IP address for the principal 10/100 LAN port on the Console Server; or enable its DHCP client so that it
automatically obtains an IP address from a DHCP server on the network to which it is to be connected.
• On the System: IP menu select the Network Interface page then check DHCP or Static for the Configuration Method
• If you select Static you must manually enter the new IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS server details. This
selection automatically disables the DHCP client
• If you selected DHCP the Console Server will look for configuration details from a DHCP server on your management LAN.
This selection automatically disables any static address. The Console Server MAC address can be found on a label on the
base plate
Note: In its factory default state (with no Configuration Method selected) the Console Server has its DHCP client enabled, so
it automatically accepts any network IP address assigned by a DHCP server on your network. In this initial state, the Console
Server will then respond to both its Static address (192.168.0.1) and its newly assigned DHCP address
• By default the Console Server LAN port auto detects the Ethernet connection speed. However you can use the Media
menu to lock the Ethernet to 10 Mb/s or 100Mb/s and to Full Duplex (FD) or Half Duplex (HD)
Note: If you have changed the Console Server IP address, you may need to reconfigure your PC/workstation so it has an IP
address that is in the same network range as this new address (as detailed in an earlier note in this chapter)
• Click Apply
• You will need to reconnect the browser on the PC/workstation that is connected to the Console Server by entering
http://new IP address
