42 Global Console Manager Installation and User's Guide 3. Type 1 and press Enter to set the network speed. You should set the connection manually without relying on the auto negotiate feature. After pressing Enter, you are returned to the Network Configuration menu. 4. Type 2 and press Enter to specify whether you are using a static or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address. A static IP address can be used to provide a userdefined IP address, netmask, and default gateway for the appliance. Use a static IP address for ease of configuration. DHCP is a protocol that automates the configuration of TCP/IP-enabled computers. When DHCP is selected, the IP Address, Netmask, and Default Gateway settings are automatically assigned to the appliance and cannot be modified by a user. If you are using the DHCP option, configure the DHCP target device to provide an IP address to the appliance and then skip step 5. 5. Select the remaining options from the Network Configuration menu to finish the configuration of the appliance with an IP address, netmask, default gateway, and ping response. 6. Type 0 (zero) and press Enter to return to the Console Main menu. The appliance will then reboot. Other Console Main menu options Besides the Network Configuration option, the Console Main menu of the appliance has the following menu items: Security Configuration, Firmware Management, Enable Debug Messages, Restore Factory Defaults, Reset Appliance, and Exit. Each is discussed in the following section. Security Configuration Console Password: Enable or disable the console password using security for the console (access requires an Admin account). In the event that you forgot the password, type Help. You will be given a one time use key to supply to technical support, who will then supply you with a one time use password that you can use to access the Serial Port. Firmware Management This menu contains the FLASH Download selection. For more information, see "Appendix A" beginning on page 45. Enable Debug Messages This menu option turns on console status messages. Because this can significantly reduce performance, you should only enable debug messages when instructed to do so by technical support. When you are finished viewing the messages, press any key to exit this mode. Restore Factory Defaults This menu option will restore all appliance options to the default settings.
