?
A: Connecting any Peripheral to VULKANO is not as cut and dried as it would be with PC - on
Windows, you can go to any PC store and buy any Device and get proper drivers with it. On
VULKANO, we have to carefully select Devices and drivers to match the Linux operating system
used on the unit. As of now Only a few storage devices has been tested with VULKANO and that
is what will work with VULKANO. You may go upto 1TB of Storage on Vulkano which can be
purchased from

Q: I
S STATIC
IP
SETUP FOR
V
ULKANO REQUIRED
?
A: Since Vulkano renegotiates UPnP port forwarding rules whenever it gets an IP address, it
should not need to have a static IP set if your router supports UPnP (and UPnP is enabled).
However, there is no harm in having the IP set for static either – just the standard warnings
about making sure that the static IP chosen is not in the DHCP allocation range set by the router
or used by another device using static IP on the same LAN.
If Vulkano is being used on a router that does NOT support UPnP, and as a result port
forwarding had to be set manually using the router’s web interface, then static IP assignment for
Vulkano is recommended. Some routers feature a way to assign the same IP address to a device
repeatedly, which can be used instead of setting static IP on the Vulkano.
This can be called (depending on the router):

DHCP reservation

Static DHCP

Reserved IP address
And requires you to enter both the IP address you wish to use and the MAC address of the
device in question (Vulkano). See your router’s documentation for more information on this
feature.
