3.3.3.2. Assign a Known IP Addre
ss to the Appliance’s MAC Address
Most routers with embedded DHCP servers will allow administrators to assign
an IP address (in the range of assignable addresses) to a device with a specific
MAC address. The process follows:
1.
Find the appliance’s MAC address on the back panel. It is of the form
Y:Y:Y:Y:Y.
2. Define a rule in the router to assign IP address X.X.X.X to the device
with MAC address Y:Y:Y:Y:Y.
3. Reboot the appliance by pressing the power button on the front panel.
The WD Arkeia Physical Appliance will wait for one minute to receive
a DHCP response.
4. Point a Web browser to X.X.X.X to gain access to the appliance.
3.3.3.3. Use the LCD Panel on the Front of the Desktop Appliance
The WD Arkeia DA1300 and DA2300 desktop appliances feature an LCD
screen on the front of the device that displays system information such as the
hostname and IP address as well as critical system alerts in case of system
faults. When first started, the LCD on your WD Arkeia DAx300 will display the
default hostname and any dynamically (i.e. DHCP) assigned IP address. If no
DHCP server is available, the LCD panel will show the default IP address:
10.10.10.10.
The LCD screen shows a single message on two lines, and the display can
rotate through multiple messages. Use the up/down buttons to the right of the
LCD screen to step through other active messages. Critical messages will
displace other non-critical (e.g. IP address) messages on the LCD display.
Point a web browser to the IP address displayed on the LCD of your unit to gain
access to the appliance.
Continue configuring the appliance in the following section (3.4).
3.4. Appliance Web User Interface
In a graphical Web browser enter the IP address of your WD Arkeia Physical
Appliance determined in step 3.3 above. The appliance listens on port 80, the
default HTTP (Web) port.
