Assign a Static IP Address
If DHCP support is not enabled, set a static IP address for the unit:
1.
Create a
network.conf
file on a USB stick that contains the following entries:
BOND0_IP4_CONFIG=static
BOND0_IP4_ADDR=
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
BOND0_IP4_GW=
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
BOND0_IP4_PREFIX=
nn
Insert your IP address, gateway, and prefix. For example:
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 two minutes
for the
network.conf
file to update.
The Remote Management Console should now be available at the static IP address
selected. For more information on how to configure IP addresses, refer to
.
Automatically Assigning a DHCP IP Address
To revert to the default DHCP setting and automatically assign an IP address for the unit:

Create a
network.conf
file on a USB stick that contains only the following entry for
the IPv4 address.

NOTE: No other parameters should be present in this case. The file content is case sensitive.
Start the text from the first column and make sure there is no white space around the
equal sign (=).
2.
Insert the USB stick in the USB port on the front of the unit and wait at least one
minute for the

file to update.
