Accessing Your SAFARI Montage Server
The instructions below describe how to access your SAFARI Montage server for the first time.
These instructions assume that you have connected your SAFARI Montage server to your
network and it is powered on.
Finding SAFARI Montage on Your Network
SAFARI Montage is factory-configured to use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). On power-up, SAFARI Montage will attempt to retrieve network configuration
parameters from a DHCP host (if available) on your network. These configuration parameters
include IP address, gateway address, subnet/netmask address, and DNS addresses. The
instructions below assume that you have left SAFARI Montage in its default factory
configuration and you have not modified any network settings or disabled DHCP. If your
network is not configured to use DHCP, please see ‘Configuring SAFARI Montage to Use a
Static IP’ in the ‘SAFARI Montage Console’ documentation.
Any of three methods can be used to find and access SAFARI Montage on your network.
1. Default Hostname- Enter the SAFARI Montage default hostname into a web browser.
SAFARI Montage is factory-configured to use a default hostname of:
SVN<SerialNo>.local
Replace
<SerialNo> with the six-digit serial number of your SAFARI Montage server. Your
serial number can be found on the back cover of your printed Setup Guide, on the back of the
SAFARI Montage rack unit, or inside the case door of the SAFARI Montage tower. For
example, if your serial number were 000123, you would enter the following address into your
web browser:
http://SVN000123.local
2. IP Address - Enter SAFARI Montage’s IP address into a web browser. To find out what IP
address is assigned to SAFARI Montage, you may ping the default hostname. To ping the
default hostname, enter the following command into a command prompt:
ping svn000123.local
Replace the six-digit serial number with the one from your SAFARI Montage unit. The ping
command will display the IP address of SAFARI Montage. You may enter the IP directly into
the address bar of your web browser, for example:
http://192.168.1.78
