Using the Initial Setup Wizard
8 Snap Server Administrator Guide
Using the Initial Setup Wizard
The first time you connect to a Snap Server via the browser-based Administration
Tool, the Initial Setup Wizard runs. The Initial Setup Wizard consists of several
screens that allow you to change the server name, set the date and time, set the
administrator password, configure TCP/IP settings for the primary Ethernet port
(Ethernet1), and register the server.
Server Name
The default server name is SNAPnnnnnn, where nnnnnn is the server number. If
desired, enter a unique server name of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. In
addition to letters and numbers, you can also use a dash (-) between characters, but
spaces are not allowed.
Date/Time Settings
The Snap Server time stamp applies when recording server activity in the event log
(Monitoring tab), setting the create/modify time on a file, and when scheduling
snapshot, antivirus, or S2S operations. Edit the settings according to local
conditions.
Changing the Administration Password
The default administrator user name is admin and the default password is also
admin. A password must consist of 1 to 15 alphanumeric characters and is case
sensitive. To prevent unauthorized access to the Snap Server, enter a secure
password immediately in the fields provided.
Gathering TCP/IP Addressing Information
Snap Servers are preset to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. If you do not
plan to use or do not have a DHCP server, assemble the following information prior
to running the wizard:
• The IP address for the Snap Server (required)
• The subnet mask (required)
• The default gateway IP address
• The domain server IP address
• WINS server(s) IP address(es)
