Hello,

I am currently studying the setup of the 2161DS via serial cable.

1) When I switch on the 2161ds this is all I get on the hyperterminals window:

"
Verifying subsystem flash versions...

DELL 2161DS Console Ready...

Press any key to continue... "

From there on pressing any key doesnt change anything, so I can't access the Terminal Menu.


2) Using the Application utility I am also unable to find the switch.

3) I can access the switch directly by using the keyboard directly connect to it, but there is no network menu to set the IP address.

4) When turning on the 2161DS and leaving it alone then after a while it ill show a little window filled with the words "Free". What does that mean ?

Best regards
