How to Configure Network Settings for a UDP Appliance

To manage the Arcserve UDP appliance, the first step is to have the appliance in your network. For that, you have to assign a hostname to the appliance and then configure network ports.

Follow these steps:

1. After you power on the appliance, the Settings screen for the Microsoft License terms opens. Read and accept the terms.
2. The UDP End User License Agreement dialog opens. Read and accept the license agreement and click Next.
3. Enter a hostname for the appliance. Assigning a name helps identify the appliance on your network.

   To make your appliance a member of a domain in your network, click the "Add this Arcserve UDP Appliance to a domain" option and specify the domain, user name, and password.

   Note: The Domain, Username, and Password fields will be displayed when the option is selected.

   

   Note: To apply a new hostname, you need to restart the appliance. You can choose to reboot the appliance now or after you configure the network settings.

   After you reboot the appliance, you can access the appliance from any other machine by using the following URL:

   https://<hostname>:8015
   

4. Click Save.
5. The following dialog opens.

   By default, Arcserve UDP discovers all network connections in a network. If some connections are not assigned, then you have to manually edit and specify the connection details.

   

6. To edit a network connection, click Edit.from the Network Connections box.
7. The Network Connection dialog opens.

   

8. Modify the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway values as required and click Save.

   Note: Optionally, you can also modify the hostname, domain, date, and time.

9. To apply the changes, click Reboot Appliance to restart the appliance.

   The appliance restarts with a new hostname.

10. The Login screen opens again. Enter the user name and password and click Enter.
11. When the appliance configuration screen reopens, click Launch Wizard.
