Note:
The LAN connected computer must have an IP address in the same network
range (192.168.0.xxx) as the console server. If this is not convenient, you
can use the
ARP Ping
command to set the IP address (refer
User Manual
or
online FAQ for details). The console server also
has its DHCP client enabled
by default, so it will automatically accept any network IP address assigned by
any DHCP server on your network – and will then respond at both
192.168.0.1 and its DHCP address.
Select
System: Administration
, enter and confirm a new
System Password

Apply
To assign your console server a static IP address or to permanently enable
DHCP, select
