Setting Up Your RackLink Device for the First Time
|
|
NOTE |
If you’re not using RackLink Cloud Services, you may need to configure a port on your firewall to allow passthrough traffic to your RackLink device whether you use DDNS or a static TCP/IP address. Please refer to your router’s instructions regarding port configuration. If you do not have a static TCP/IP address, you must first setup a method for handling the address changes, such as using a DDNS service. Once completed, please follow the same instructions as if you had a static address, and then open a port on your router to allow passthrough traffic to your RackLink device. |
Your RackLink Ethernet network port has DHCP enabled by default. If the system is unable to acquire an IP address from the DHCP server, the system automatically assigns 192.168.1.200.
If you are using DHCP, your device should automatically work, and you can skip to the Using the Web Interface. If you are not using DHCP and would like to specify a static TCP/IP address, use your computer and a network cable (Cat5e or better, not provided) along with the following procedures and configure your RackLink device accordingly.
