Installing the StorPoint CD
AXIS StorPoint CD E100 User’s Guide 9
Stage 2 - Assigning an IP Address
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, you must first assign an IP address to your
StorPoint CD in order to access the StorPoint CD Web interface.
Note:
Set the IP address using one of these methods, depending on your network environment:
* Note: These methods operate on single network segments only, i.e. they cannot be used over routers.
Important!
If you are using DHCP, RARP or BOOTP, the IP address will be set automatically. On Windows
NT networks, DHCP is the preferred method since it allows a number of parameters to be set
automatically, provided the DHCP server has been configured to do this.
For additional IP-related settings, refer to “Setting the TCP/IP Parameters ” on page 16.
If you are not using IP addressing in your network environment, i.e. if you are using the
StorPoint CD in Windows (SMB over NetBEUI), NetWare (pure IPX) or Macintosh (AFP over
AppleTalk), you do not need to set the IP address. You can then proceed directly to the
appropriate network environment section.
