Configuration
When first powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the DNS-321 will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP.
If it does not receive a DHCP assigned IP address, by default it will have a self-assigned IP address of
192.168.0.32.
It is recommended to use the included D-Link Easy Search Utility when accessing and configuring the DNS-321 for
the first time. If you want to change the IP address before logging in or if you are unable to connect to the DNS-321
IP address, you can use the Easy Search Utility provided on the product CD to locate the device on your network and
make any needed changes.
The Easy Search Utility displays
the available DNS-321 devices on
the network.
