D-Link DNS-321 Quick Install Guide

Easy Search Utility

Easy Search Utility

When first powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the

DNS-321 will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP. If it does

not receive a DHCP assigned IP address, by default it will boot up

with a self-assigned IP address of 192.168.0.32.

The Easy Search Utility provided on the DNS-321 CD-ROM makes

it simple to find any DNS-321 devices on your network, and it is

recommended to use the Easy Search Utility when accessing and

configuring the DNS-321 for the first time. Each DNS-321 will have

a unique name of dlink-xxxxxx where ‘xxxxxx’ is the last six digits of

its MAC address.
