Connect to the NVD
There are various ways you can connect to the NVD and below are the
suggested methods for different network setup:
•The NVD is placed in a network with a DHCP server: Connect to
the NVD by using “ Search” Utility
•The NVD is placed in a network without DHCP server (or you are
connecting to it directly): Access the NVD with its default IP
Use Search Utility
If the NVD is placed in a corporate network or a local area network
where a DHCP server is already presented, run the “Search” utility
from a computer that is on the same network and locate the NVD with
its IP address that is assigned by the top-level DHCP server.

installation:

Access the NVD with its default IP address
The NVD comes with a pre-configured static IP “192.168.101.50”.
However, it is only used when there is no DHCP server presented in
the network. To connect to the NVD, use a PC that is on the same
network over a switch or hub, or connect the PC directly to the NVD
using a crossover CAT5 Ethernet cable.
The PC that is connected directly to the NVD (or within the same local
area network) should receive an IP from the NVD. Simply access the
NVD from your web browser with its IP address
