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.
