Record network information
It is critical to have the correct networking information
available before proceeding with the system
installation and configuration. It may be necessary to
pre-stage DNS information. Contact your system
administrator to clarify network configuration
requirements.
IMPORTANT:
Before joining the StoreEasy
system nodes to the Active Directory domain,
ensure that there is network connectivity between
each node and the domain controller.
The StoreEasy 3830 requires a minimum of 2 IP
addresses. These addresses may be statically assigned
or assigned by a DHCP server or both. If you are using
static addressing or a DHCP server that does not
automatically update DNS, ensure that both forward
and reverse DNS information (A and PTR records) is
pre-staged in the DNS server.
