Example
The serial number of your StorPoint CD is 00408C3E5207 and you want to assign
it the IP address 192.16.253.80. Your Windows client has the IP address
192.16.6.40. You enter
3E5207_253_80
in the location/address field. The
StorPoint CD will retrieve the first two groups of the IP address from the subnet.
The StorPoint CD will retrieve the first two groups of the new IP address
from the subnet where the client issues the broadcast.
When the IP address has been successfully set, the
StorPoint CD File View
page will appear in your Web browser.
Important!
You must have the NetBEUI protocol enabled. In Windows 2000, this is
not
the
default setting.
The new IP address must be set within 30 minutes after restart.
This method will work for most Windows configurations. However, if you
experience problems when using this method, we recommend that you use
the AXIS IP Installer for setting the IP address. See “
AXIS IP Installer
” on
page 15.
