Establish a Web Connection to the MRD 7000
To access the MRD 7000 web user interface, it is necessary to establish an
Ethernet connection to the device. There are two alternative ways to connect to
or set the device’s management IP address: using the pre-set management IP
address or connecting a monitor and keyboard to the server.
Using the Pre-Set Management IP Address
The Sencore MRD 7000 is shipped with the following factory settings for the
network ports:
eth0 Default IP Address: 10.0.20.101
eth0 Default Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
eth1 Default IP Address: DHCP
To connect to the web UI, the PC used for setup should have corresponding
network settings. Connect a PC directly to eth0 using an Ethernet cable.
For Windows, the network parameters are set in the Control Panel — Network
and Internet — Network and Sharing Center — Network Connection —
Properties — Internet Protocol Version 4 Properties view, as shown in figure
3. Select the user defined address and set the PC’s IP address to 10.0.20.60 and
the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
When the IP address of the PC has been set in the same subnet as the MRD
7000 factory setting, a web browser can be used to access the web user
interface at 10.0.20.101.

Connecting Monitor and Keyboard to the MRD 7000
It is also possible to configure the network settings of the MRD 7000 using a
monitor and keyboard connected directly to the server. Once the MRD 7000
server boots, a console screen will be shown which will allow viewing and
configuring the IP settings of the system
