Initializing Remote Devices
You can reset the password and IP address of the remote devices through initializing.
Search for devices
Click Device Search.
The searched devices are displayed in the table. See Figure 5-76.
Enable the Uninitialized function
Enable the Initialized function.
The uninitialized devices are displayed. See Figure 5-77.
Select the device to initialize
Select the uninitialized device that you want to initialize.
Open the initialization wizard
Click Initialize.
The Enter Password interface is displayed. See Figure 5-78.
Configure the password and email information
Configure the password and email information.
If you select the Using current device password and email info check box, the remote device automatically uses the current password and email information, so you do not need to set the password and email address again and can go to Step 6.
Clear the Using current device password and email info check box.
The password setting interface is displayed. See Figure 5-79.
Configure the settings for the password setting parameters. See Table 5-29.
Table 5-29
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| User | The default is admin. |
| Password | The password must consist of 8 to 32 non-blank characters and contain at least two types of characters among upper case, lower case, number, and special character (excluding "'", """, ";", ":" and "&"). |

Configure the IP address
Click Next.
The NETWORK interface is displayed. See Figure 5-81.
Configure the IP address.
- Select the DHCP check box, you do not need to enter the IP address information, because the system will allocate one IP address to the remote device.
- Select the STATIC check box, you need to enter the IP address, subnet mast, default gateway, and incremental value. The system will allocate the IP address to the remote devices by progressively increasing the last part of the IP address when initializing devices in batches.
When configuring IP address for multiple remote devices which were not in the same network segment, these remote devices will belong to the same network segment after configuration.
