Black Box ServSwitch CX 用户手册

®

IP models of the ServSwitch CX family possess a further collection of 
configuration options related specifically to IP networking. It is important that 
the options are correctly set up for your installation BEFORE being connected to 
an open IP network.

1  From a local user port (for security reasons, the IP configuration option 

cannot be accessed from remote user ports), log on as ‘admin’ user.

2  Press 

 

   (hotkeys can be changed).

3  Press   to select ‘More menus’.
4  Select ‘Functions’ and then select ‘Configure IP port’.

•  If the unit is being configured for the first time or following a reset,  

the unit will display the first of five screens, as shown opposite 



•  If the unit has been previously  

IP-configured it will display the  
IP Configuration menu, as  
shown below

To use the initial IP-configuration sequence
Set the options in each screen and then select Next to proceed.

Enter a password of at least six characters that has a mix 
of letters and numerals. The background colour provides 
an indication of password suitability and is initially red 
to indicate that the password is not sufficient. When a 
password with reasonable strength has been entered it 
will change to green. 

Set these correctly as all entries in the activity log are time 
stamped using them.

See 

 for a description of the issues 

and the settings.

You need to either set the DHCP option to ‘Yes’ or 
manually enter a valid IP address, Net mask and Gateway. 
See 

 for more details.

These should remain set to 5900 and 80, respectively, 
unless they clash with an existing setup within the 
network. See 

 for more details.

The default items here are perfectly adequate for 
the majority of modem and ISDN terminal adapter 
installations.
The Server IP and Client IP addresses are used to form an 
isolated two-device PPP network connection via the dial 
up link. Their settings are not related to any other ‘real’ 
network settings within the ServSwitch CX with IP unit. 

With every mouse move and keypress, the single dash will 
move across the screen (unless the same key is pressed 
repeatedly). Periodically, a new star character will be 
added to the bar as the random data are accepted as 
part of the new encryption key. When the bar is full, the 
final encryption keys for your ServSwitch CX with IP will 
be created – this process takes roughly 30 to 40 seconds. 
Once the secure keys have been calculated the ServSwitch 
CX with IP will show the IP configuration menu.
