IP Address
The KVM Over the NET
TM
switch can either have its IP address assigned
dynamically (DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.
 For dynamic IP address assignment, select the Obtain IP address
automatically radio button.
 To specify a fixed IP address, select the Set IP address manually radio
button and fill in the IP address with values appropriate for your network.
Note: If you choose Obtain IP address automatically, when the switch starts
up it waits to get its IP address from the DHCP server. If it hasn’t
obtained the address after 30 seconds, it automatically reverts to its
factory default IP address (192.168.0.10.)
DNS Server
 For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS
Server address automatically radio button.
 To specify the DNS Server address manually, select the Set DNS server
address manually radio button, and fill in the addresses for the Preferred
and Alternate DNS servers with values appropriate for your network.
Note: Specifying at the preferred DNS Server address is optional.
Network Transfer Rate
This setting allows you to tailor the size of the data transfer stream to match
network traffic conditions by setting the rate at which the KVM Over the
NET
TM
switch transfers data between the switch and the client computers. The
range is from 4–99999 Kilobytes per second (KBps).
