5.1.3 Connecting with proRAID Manager Using Static IP
If the RAID controller is assigned with static IP, use the static IP address in your
web browser to open proRAID Manager.
You can also set the static IP using terminal emulation program (refer to Section
5.1.1).
NOTE: When using Static IP address, it is necessary to configure
the network adapter on the computer that will be used to manage
the RAID subsystem to the same subnet.
5.1.4 Connecting with proRAID Manager Using APIPA
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is a feature that automatically assigns an
Internet Protocol address to a computer on which it installed. This occurs when the
TCP/IP protocol is installed, set to obtain its IP address automatically from a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server, and when there is no DHCP server
present or the DHCP server is not available. The Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) has reserved private IP addresses in the range of 169.254.0.0 -
169.254.255.255 for Automatic Private IP Addressing.
By default the system is configured to use DHCP. If no static IP address has been
previously assigned and DHCP is enabled but DHCP server is not available, the
RAID system will use an APIPA IP address. Use the APIPA-assigned IP address in
your web browser to open proRAID Manager.
NOTE: When using APIPA-assigned IP address, it is necessary to
configure the network adapter on the computer that will be used
to manage the RAID subsystem to the same subnet.
