Š IPv6 Settings
Š IP Address:
IPv6 is the new (128-bit) format for specifying IP addresses. (See IPv6 ,
page 265 for further information.) The KVM Over the NET™ switch
can either have its IPv6 address assigned dynamically (DHCP), or it can
be given a fixed IP address.
Š For dynamic IP address assignment, select the Obtain IP address
automatically radio button. (This is the default setting.)
Š To specify a fixed IP address, select the Set IP address manually
radio button and fill in the fields with values appropriate for your
network.
Š DNS Server
Š For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain
DNS Server address automatically radio button.
Š 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 the Alternate 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™ switch transfers data between itself and the client computers. The range
is from 4–99999 Kilobytes per second (KBps).

System Operation page (see Reset on exit: , page 213) has been
enabled (there is a check in the checkbox), before logging out. This allows
network changes to take effect without having to power the switch off and on.
