Establish Initial Communications

After installing the server, complete the following steps:

1. Using a directly connected keyboard, monitor, and mouse, configure the server’s networking connections:

a. After the eV Client software automatically starts on the server, expand the server device in the tree. Select System

Setup and then the Network tab.

b. For servers with multiple interfaces, select the appropriate NIC port from the drop-down menu at the top of the

page:

i. If the server is installed on a network using static IP addressing (recommended), select Static, enter the

appropriate settings, and click Apply.

ii. If the server is installed on a network using DHCP (not recommended), select Dynamic and click Apply. After a

brief delay, all four parameter boxes should auto-fill with valid network settings. If not, contact your network
administrator for resolution.

c. Repeat this step for any additional network ports.

2. If the server will be configured through a remote eV client instead of the server, install the client software:

a. Download the latest eV Client software from the Exacq website at

b. Install the client software on a system administrator computer.

c. Confirm connectivity with the server using the ping command and server IP address. If the client PC cannot

communicate with the server, contact the network administrator.

3. If a remote eV client is being used, add the server into the eV Client configuration:

a. On the system administrator PC, start the eV Client software.

b. Select the Config (Setup) page button.

c. In the system tree, select Add System.

d. Click New and enter the username admin, password admin256, and IP address (static) or hostname (fixed)

configured in previous steps.

e. Click Apply.

i. If the new server appears in the system list table with a status of Connected, the initial server configuration is

complete.

ii. If the server does NOT connect, but server connectivity was confirmed in previous steps, confirm the PC anti-

virus software is not blocking communications with the server IP addresses and ports.
