Quick Start
Step 3: Manually Setting the IP Address
Please Note: Skip this step if Nitix automatically selected an IP address for you, and the address is
acceptable.
Follow these steps if your Black Box® IT Pro™ is unable to automatically select an IP
address (the console’s
Status box continues to read Choosing Address ) or if you want to
change the chosen address:
A.
Select IP Address from the Main Menu box on the Configuration Screen (see screen
shot in Step 2).
B.
You will be prompted to enter a new IP address. Enter the new IP address and press
<Enter> .
C.
Confirm the new IP address by pressing <Y> .
D.
You can turn on or off the DHCP server (which automatically assigns IP addresses to
the workstations connected to your local network). Unless you have some other server
providing DHCP services, it is recommended that you turn DHCP on. To turn DHCP
on, select DHCP server from the
Main Menu on the Configuration Screen - if it says,
“The DHCP server is currently DISABLED” , then press <Y> to enable the DHCP
server. The DHCP server is now on.
