Assigning a Static IP Address
If DHCP support is not enabled in your network, set a static IP address for the unit:
1. Create a
network.conf
file on a USB stick that contains the following entries
with IPv4 address, Default Gateway, and Prefix appropriate to the user’s network.
Note: The file content is case sensitive. Text shall start from the first column
and no white space shall be used around equal sign (=). The Prefix is
equivalent to the number of bits turned on in the Subnet Mask (for
example, the Prefix for the mask 255.255.255.0 is 24).
BOND0_IP4_CONFIG=static
BOND0_IP4_ADDR=192.168.10.111
BOND0_IP4_GW=192.168.10.1
BOND0_IP4_PREFIX=24
2. Insert the stick in the USB port on the front of the unit and wait at least one minute
for the network.conf file to update.
3. Remove the USB stick from the front port.
The unit will restart with the updated network settings.
4. After the unit reboots, login to the Remote Management Console and finalize unit
network settings such as DNS and search domain (refer to
page 39 ).
Note: To return the RDX QuikStation 4 to the DHCP configuration, refer to
“Automatically Assigning an IP Address” on page 11 .
