By default, the IP Address configuration method is “Fixed”. Either leave it as is or

choose the “DHCP” method of changing the IP address. If the “DHCP” option is

selected, it will only take effect after the switch is connected to a network which contains

a DHCP server. At that point, you must ascertain the IP Address assigned by the

DHCP server.

If your switch has no Console Port, you can find the assigned IP

address with the procedure in Appendix 5.1.

If your switch has a Console Port, you

can access it via a serial cable to learn the IP Address — as described in the Software

Manual for Console Access available at:

.

After the switch has been given its initial configuration, it will be ready for use in the full

original LAN. The temporary LAN should then be dismantled and the PC re-configured

to restore its original IP address.

a context-sensitive

Help option. Clicking this option launches another browser window

which contains helpful information about the current screen and which pertains to a

certain product series. The example of Figure 7 pertains to the EISX_M Series.
