3. ReadyDATA Networking & Set Hostname
Network settings can be changed by logging into the administration console and selecting the “Network” tab.
it is recommended that ReadydATA be connected to the physical network using bonding (lACP) to ensure a reliable and
durable connection for ongoing backups.
At a minimum, set a static iP address along with a valid subnet and gateway address so client systems always route to the
same location.
Note:
lACP must be supported and configured on the attached switch before enabling bonding on ReadydATA. failure to
configure switching correctly can cause the ReadydATA device to become disconnected from the network.
Ensure that the time is set correctly on the ReadydATA device and that the hostname is unique and recognizable for logging
and alerting purposes. To do so:
1. select the “system” Tab, then select the “Overview” tab
2. Click on the settings cog
3. Enter a new hostname, for example “OnsiteB2d”
4. [Optional] if the time is incorrect, select the “clock” icon to update time and time zone settings
