4.

Wait several minutes until the appliance shuts down again and then press the 
power button to start it.

Note: 

On appliances shipped before 20 December 2016, the system restarts 

automatically instead of shutting down one last time before the appliance is ready. 
To ensure that the system restore is finalized, wait between 5 and 10 minutes 
before attempting to access it.

Initial Setup of the Appliance

Before you begin work with the product on a Tiger Serve appliance, you need to 
perform its initial setup. The initial setup includes the following procedures:

• 

Configure the IP address of each network port of the appliance (see “Configure the 

IP Addresses of the Appliance” on page 19).

• 

Change the name of the appliance (see “Change the Name of The Appliance” on page 

20).

• 

Specify the time and date settings of the appliance (see “Specify The Time and Date 

Settings of the Appliance” on page 21).

• 

Set the environment in which Tiger Serve operates - workgroup or Active Directory 

domain (see “Select The Deployment Environment of Tiger Serve” on page 21).

Once you go through the initial setup, Tiger Serve can operate normally without 
having to change any of its settings. Later on you can change any of the settings that 
you have specified during the initial setup from any computer that has access to Tiger 
Store’s web interface.

You can perform the initial setup of the appliance in the web interface of the 
appliance.

Access the Web Interface of the Appliance

Tiger Serve appliances are shipped to you with preset IP address of the Public port 
(172.16.100.100) and a preset address of the Admin port (1.2.3.4 or 1.21.32.1), if such 
port is predefined by vendor.

Note: 

The Admin port is designed as a safety net in case you misconfigure the 

appliance’s network identification and fail to connect to it. For detailed procedure, 
refer to steps on page 18. 

To access the web interface of the appliance for the first time, your computer should 
be connected to the Public port of the appliance and should use an IP address that is 
on the same subnet as the preset IP address of the Public port. During the initial setup 
of Tiger Serve, you can change the IP address of the Public port and of all other 
network ports of the appliance (except the Admin port), letting all computers on the 
same network (with or without the Tiger Client software installed) access Tiger Store’s 
web interface.

To access the web interface of the appliance for the first time:

1.

Connect your computer to the Public port of the appliance directly or through an 
Ethernet switch.

Important: 

It is advisable to connect directly to the Public port if another 

computer on the network has the same IP address (172.16.100.100) as conflicts 
may arise.

2.

Make sure the IP address of your computer is on the same subnet as the Public port 
(set it to 172.16.100.101, for example).

Note: 

For more details about changing your IP address, refer to the 

documentation of your operating system).

Tip: 

Once you finish the initial setup and set another IP address to the Public port, 

you can revert back to your old IP address.

3.

In a web browser, type the pre-defined IP address of the appliance for the Public 
port: 

172.16.100.100
