Navigating the serial menu
The serial menu is driven by a series of simple nested sub-menus. To navigate through the
serial menu, simply type the number or letter that corresponds to the option you wish to
choose and press Enter. This action will bring you to a sub-menu or to a screen where you
can make configuration changes. To exit a menu or screen and to confirm any
configuration changes you have made, type 0 (zero) and press Enter. To navigate back up
through the menus, continue to type 0 and press Enter at each screen.
4.5 Configuring Network Settings
The Black Box ServSwitch Extenders is shipped with default network settings pre-
configured for your receiver and transmitter. For more information see “Networked
Installation” on page 27 and “Interface to external system” on page 18. You can change
the network settings (from the default values) for your system using the serial menu.
If you wish, you can place the receiver on a different subnet from the transmitter.
NOTE:
IP address data can be obtained by DHCP or can be set to Static.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you configure the network settings for the transmitter before you configure the
network settings for the receiver.
