Appliance Configuration Manager is the component that deploys DP Series Appliance. Appliance Configuration Manager set up is one-time process and configured initially. When DP Series Appliance is shipped, it is accessible with the default IP address https://192.168.100.100:8543 using the default root credentials.
Entering the default username and password initiates a prompt to change the password. On the Network Configuration page, you can specify network settings, including IP address of Appliance Configuration Manager (customer's network), subnet mask, DNS, and IP address of the hypervisor host.
Completion of the network configuration takes several minutes. When the initial network configuration is complete, you can access Appliance Configuration Manager over the customer network. The login credentials are the new IP address (set for Appliance Configuration Manager IP) with the new password that you set for root.
