2.1.1.3.1 Connection Host-PC
↔
Box by Wi-Fi
Note
This is the preferred way to connect to an OBLAC box.
To establish the connection you have to activate the Wi-Fi on your host PC and connect to the Wi-Fi with the
network name written on the box. Each box has a unique SSID. Open the Wi-Fi configuration of your PC,
select the given network and enter the password. On Windows 10, you have to enter the password as
security key:
After the Wi-Fi connection is established, you have to open a browser (Google Chrome preferred) and enter
the IP address given by the label in your browser’s address bar (always 192.168.0.1). Alternatively you can
enter the URL given on the label of the box. The OBLAC drives dashboard will appear. You can now operate
connected drives with OBLAC drives.
To be able to do any updates, a connection to the internet or a previously saved bundle is required. Different
ways to realize this connection are described in the following chapters. A connection between the box and
the internet will be reported by the green “online” sign in the top line of the OBLAC drives page.
2.1.1.3.1.1 Host-PC connected to Internet by LAN connection
If the host PC is connected to the internet by a LAN connection or a second Wi-Fi connection, the box will
automatically connect to the Internet through the host PC.
