Step 1 - Access the NSS when there is no DHCP Server Present on your Network This step depends on whether there is a DHCP server on the network to which you are connecting the NSS (this could be the router). The NSS ships with a default configuration such that its network interfaces are DHCP configured. For your computer to communicate with the NSS when no DHCP server is present, you must manually configure the computer's network settings. NOTE: The configuration for your computer is only temporary. After you initially open the configuration interface, you can configure the static IP address for the NSS accordingly and then restore your computer's network settings to their previous values. For help setting the IP configuration on the NSS, refer to the online help available with the NSS configuration interface. NSS2000 Getting Started Guide 9
