Wireless Support
You must connect the HP Data Vault to your router (or switch) with an Ethernet cable. The server
does not support wireless connection to your router. However, computers connected wirelessly to
a wireless access point or router are supported.

How you connect the HP Data Vault to your network depends on the network configuration.
This example shows a broadband router connecting the following:
• HP Data Vault (Requires wired connection to a router, and remote features require a broadband
Internet connection.)
• Wired and wireless network devices such as notebooks, desk computers, TVs and gaming
consoles
• Remote devices such as notebooks and iPhones
The server requires a DHCP-enabled router to get its IP address. By default, most routers include a
DHCP server. For more information, check your router documentation.
Caution
If you have wireless functionality on your network, be sure to enable your router’s security
