AKD-C/N Topology Scan not finding drives. | 10 May 2021 | |

AKD-C/N Topology Scan not finding drives.

I have an AKD-C with 6x AKD-N deives connected.

I have so far been doing configurations through KAS IDE, but now I need to acces the AKD-N drives from Workbench.

When Workbench performs a Topology Scan, no devices show up, and hence I can't see the AKD-N drives in the tree view.

If I open the topology view in Workbench I get a graphical presentation of all drives.

Hi Dennis

You need to assign an IP-address to each AKD-N drive from the KAS-integrated Workbench.
It can be done using the terminal...

> IP.MODE 1
>IP.ADDRESS 192.168.0.xxx
>IP.SUBNET 255.255.255.0
>IP.GATEWAY 192.168.0.yyy
>DRV.NVSAVE
>IP.RESET

If the drive does not pick up the new address, a reboot might be required.

Regards
Jørgen
