Arkeia Physical Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide

2.3.3.2.

Assign a Known IP Address to the Appliance’s MAC Address

Most routers with embedded DHCP servers will allow administrators to assign

an IP address (in the range of assignable addresses) to a device with a specific

MAC address. The process follows:

1. Find the appliance’s MAC address on the back panel. It is of the form

Y:Y:Y:Y:Y.

2. Define a rule in the router to assign IP address X.X.X.X to the device

with MAC address Y:Y:Y:Y:Y.

3. Reboot the appliance by pressing the power button on the front panel.

The Arkeia Physical Appliance will wait for one minute to receive a

DHCP response.

4. Point a Web browser to X.X.X.X to gain access to the appliance.

Continue configuring the appliance in the following section (2.4).

2.4. Appliance Default Passwords

Before you assign a static IP address to the appliance, you need to review how

to use the Web User Interface of the appliance.

The Arkeia Physical Appliance is configured in two parts; Arkeia Network

Backup Software and Appliance System. Each section has a separate

superuser and password.

Web Interface Login: (for the Arkeia Network Backup software)

username = root

password =

<blank>


Appliance System Login: (for the Linux operating system)

username = root

password = arkeia

2.5. Appliance Web User Interface

In a graphical Web browser enter the IP address of your Arkeia Physical

Appliance determined in step 2.3 above. The appliance listens to port 80, the

default HTTP (Web) port.

Log into the appliance

1. Enter “root” in the User Name field.
2. Do not enter a value in the “Password” field for the initial login.
3. Click on “Login”.
