Once you’ve connected the two FaxPress Enterprise Redundant network ports to your network and plugged the power cables into the power sources, power on the Enterprise Redundant by using the power switch on the front of the unit.

Powering on in a DHCP Environment

By default, the FaxPress Enterprise Redundant is DHCP-enabled. If powered on in a DHCP environment, with both network ports connected to the network, the FaxPress Enterprise Redundant will automatically be assigned two IP addresses from your network’s DHCP server, but will still need to be manually joined to the network domain.

Castelle recommends manually assigning two static IP addresses to the FaxPress Enterprise Redundant. To change the FaxPress Enterprise Redundant’s server-assigned IP addresses to static IP addresses, see Assigning Static IP Addresses.

Powering on in a Static IP Environment

If the FaxPress Enterprise Redundant server is operating in a non-DHCP (static IP) environment, with both network ports connected to the network, it will automatically assign itself two randomly generated static IP addresses. To change the FaxPress Enterprise Redundant’s self-assigned IP addresses to static IP addresses in the range on your network, see Assigning Static IP Addresses.
