4. Conguration with Wizard
When rst powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the ShareCenter Pro 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 an auto-assigned IP address of 169.254.x.x (where
"x" is dynamic). It is recommended to use the included D-Link EZ Search Utility when
accessing and conguring the ShareCenter Pro for the rst time. If you want to change
the IP address before logging in or are unable to connect to the ShareCenter Pro IP
address, you can use the EZ Search Utility provided on the product CD to locate the
device on your network and make any needed changes.
