Setting up your network
The DSR system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the DSAuthentication
Server, the DSR units and the computers running DSView. The DSR supports
both bootP (a subset of DHCP) and Static IP addressing. Avocent recommends
that IP addresses be reserved for each unit and that they remain static while
the DSR units are connected to the network. For additional information on
how the DSR uses the TCP protocol, see
Appendix D .
