If DHCP is not available on your network, you must apply a static IP configuration to
Genetec Cloudlink™ 310 before it can be used.
Before you begin
Best Practice: Set up Genetec Cloudlink 310 in a pre-deployment
environment with DHCP and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) enabled.
What you should know
By default, Genetec Cloudlink 310 uses DHCP to obtain an IP address and is discoverable
by UPnP. If an IP address cannot be obtained from DHCP, the appliance automatically falls back
to a link-local address in the range of 169.254.0.0/16.To retrieve the
IP address, you can use network discovery or connect a monitor to the unit.
Procedure
-
On a computer connected to the same subnet, open a web browser and connect to
https://<appliance>
, where
<appliance>
is the hostname or IP address of
your unit.
The default hostname is printed on the unit label beside
Nom/Name.
Note: Genetec Cloudlink 310 uses a self-signed certificate. When
connecting to the unit, the browser might warn you that the connection is unsafe. If you
get this warning message, ignore it and proceed with the connection.
The appliance web page opens.
-
Enter the username "admin" and your password, and then click
Connect.
If you are connecting to the appliance for the first time, the default password is
printed on the unit label beside PWD. You will be asked to change this password
after logging on.
-
From the Genetec Cloudlink 310 homepage, click the Settings
tab.
-
Under Interfaces, select Static, and input
the network configuration.
The following values are required:
-
Click Save.
The static IP configuration is applied. You might not be able to reconnect to
the unit before moving it to the required location.
After you finish
The Genetec Cloudlink 310 appliance is now ready for deployment in your static IP
network.
