Using IP Autoconfi guration and NETBIOS
If no network with a DHCP server is available, connect a computer to the DAX
using a network “crossover” cable. Some recent computers can use a standard
“straight through” cable, but a crossover cable will always work.
Many computers support “IP Autoconfi guration” where the computer chooses an
IP address in the 169.254.x.y range. With such computers, once again, opening a
web browser and typing “DAX” in the address fi eld will connect you to the DAX unit
and show the status screen.
Using Default IP Address
If your computer does not support IP Autoconfi guration or NETBIOS, you should
confi gure your network connection to be in the same subnet as the DAX, and set
its IP address to something other than that of the DAX. For example, you may
set your computer to have an IP address of 169.254.1.123 and a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0 . Then, type the default DAX IP address (169.254.1.1 ) in the address
fi eld of your web browser. You should see the status page.
Confi guring the DAX Network
Once the status page is visible, you can select the confi guration page (link at top of
status page). The system will ask for a username and password. The username is
“admin” and the default password is “ultra” (both lower case). You can change the
password on the confi guration page.
