Establish Initial Communications
After installing the server, complete the following steps:
1. Using a directly connected keyboard, monitor, and mouse, configure the server's networking connections:
a. After the eV Client software automatically starts on the server, expand the server device in the tree. Select System
Setup and then the Network tab.
b. Select the appropriate NIC port from the drop-down menu at the top of the page:
i. If the server is installed on a network using static IP addressing (recommended), select Static, enter the
appropriate settings, and click Apply.
ii. If the server is installed on a network using DHCP (not recommended), select Dynamic and click Apply. After a
brief delay, all four parameter boxes should auto-fill with valid network settings. If not, contact your network
administrator for resolution.
c. Repeat this step for any additional network ports.
2. If the server will be configured through a remote eV client instead of the server, install the client software:
a. Download the latest eV Client software from the Exacq website at
http://downloads.exacq.com/downloads/exacqVisionClient.exe
b. Install the client software on a system administrator computer.
c. Confirm connectivity with the server using the ping command and server IP address. If the client PC cannot
communicate with the server, contact the network administrator.
3. If a remote eV client is being used, add the server into the eV Client configuration:
a. On the system administrator PC, start the eV Client software.
b. Select the Config (Setup) page button.
c. In the system tree, select Add System.
d. Click New and enter the username admin, password admin256, and IP address (static) or hostname (fixed)
configured in previous steps.
e. Click Apply.
i. If the new server status in the system table is Connected, the initial server configuration is complete.
ii. If the server does NOT connect, but server connectivity was confirmed in previous steps, confirm the PC anti-
virus software is not blocking communications with the server IP addresses and ports.
4. Change the default operating system and exacqVision admin and user account passwords:

See www.exacq.com/kb for instructions on changing the operating system password on exacqVision servers.

See Chapter 4 of the exacqVision user manual for instructions on changing exacqVision admin and user passwords.
