manual.

CRU recommends that you change the admin account password and create user accounts for individual

users as best data management practices.

You are now ready to use the browser interface to configure settings and preview, image, or clone
attached disks.

3.1.2 Accessing Via Direct Connection to Your Computer

a. Plug an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the “Destination Outputs” side of the Ditto Forensic

FieldStation.

b. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your computer’s Ethernet port.

The destination Ethernet port can be configured to act as a server. Attaching a Ditto Forensic FieldSta-

tion acting as a server to an existing network through the destination Ethernet port will cause network

conflicts. Therefore it is important to attach the Ditto Forensic FieldStation directly to your computer

instead. To change this setting so that the Ditto Forensic FieldStation no longer acts as a server, see

Section 5.2.3.

c. Connect the power cable to the rear of the Ditto Forensic FieldStation and to the provided AC adapter

or to SATA power.

d. Turn on the Ditto Forensic FieldStation’s power using the switch on the rear panel. (0 = off, 1 = on)
