Advanced configuration with
QubeVu Manager
QubeVu Manager is an optional set of software tools provided to enable advanced configuration. They are not
needed in most cases. They are recommended for use only by a technical systems administrator.
This introduction is not intended as a replacement for complete documentation. Please refer to the QubeVu
Manager Guide for a complete guide to the tools. The latest version of the Manager Guide, along with all other
product documentation, can be downloaded from Postea at

Define QubeVu on your Network
QubeVu Manager is accessed via QubeVu’s IP address over a wired Ethernet connection. To access the tools your
QubeVu must be defined on your network.
QubeVu can be installed as a network device and can be configured with a static IP address or using DHCP. Talk to
your network administrator to determine the best approach for your enterprise network.
QubeVu is shipped with a dual IP configuration. The network interface will lease an IP address from any available
DHCP server. However, it also has a fixed, fail-safe IP address of
169.254.1.1
. If your prefer to use DHCP, your
network administrator can advise you as to the IP address leased by QubeVu.
Configure PC network settings to connect to QubeVu on 169.254.1.1
• Connect QubeVu to a computer using a standard Ethernet cable
• Configure your computer’s Ethernet interface with an IP address of
169.254.1.10
.
Consult with your network administrator if you are unsure how to change your computer’s IP address.
Verify connectivity
• Verify that you can communicate with QubeVu from your computer.
• Use the “ping” command to confirm connectivity.
• ping
169.254.1.1
.
If the ping command does not show QubeVu is responding this may be due to an issue with your network
configuration. Make sure that wireless networking is turned off and then try the ping command again. If this is still
unsuccessful contact your network administrator for further assistance.
Access QubeVu Manager
To view the QubeVu Manager home page, open an Internet browser and enter http://169.254.1.1. If you are using
DHCP, remember to replace 169.254.1.1 with the IP address provided by your network administrator.
