The terminal may be connected at any time, even when the switch is
already turned on.
2 Once the Console Main Menu is displayed, type the number corresponding
to Network Configuration and press .
3 Type 1 and press to set your network speed. For best performance,
set the SCS at the same speed as the Ethernet switch to which it is
attached. Press to return to the Console Network Configuration
menu.
4 Type 2 and press to specify whether you are using a static or
DHCP address.
A static IP configuration may be used to provide a user-defined IP
address, netmask, or prefix length, and default gateway for the SCS.
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 SCS and may not be modified by a switch user.
If you are using the DHCP option, configure your DHCP device to
provide an IP address to the switch and then go to step 6.
5 Select the remaining options from the Network Configuration menu to
finish the configuration of your SCS with an IP address, netmask or prefix
length, and default gateway.
6 Type 0 (zero) and press to return to the Console Main menu.

Besides the Network Configuration option, the Console Main Menu of the SCS

Messages, Set/Change Password, Restore Factory Defaults, Reset Switch, Set
Web Interface Ports, and Exit. Each menu item is discussed in this section.
