  • Link Aggregation: If your device has multiple network ports, you can combine them into one logical interface to improve performance.

LAN Access Account

  1. Click Change Password.

  2. In the pop-up window, enter a new password and confirm.

LAN IP Management

Two IP management modes are available:

  • DHCP (Automatic IP Assignment): The switch/router assigns an IP address to the DASSET device automatically. No manual configuration is required. This is ideal for plug-and-play use and users without networking knowledge.

  • Manual IP Assignment: The user assigns a fixed IP address to the DASSET device. This is recommended when services (such as Samba) require a stable IP address.

Important: Ensure that the manually configured IP matches the subnet of the current network and is not already in use. If the device cannot connect after manual configuration, press and hold the reset button on the device to restore IP settings.

DHCP (Automatic)

By default, DASSET devices use DHCP. On the LAN IP Management page, you can view:

  • Current IP address

  • Subnet mask

  • Gateway IP address

Note: IP details assigned by DHCP cannot be modified manually.

Manual IP Assignment

If you use protocols such as Samba, it is recommended to configure a static IP to avoid DHCP changes disrupting access.

Steps:

  1. Go to SET UP LAN Settings LAN IP Management, then click Mode.

  1. Enable Manual Network Configuration and enter:

    • IP address

    • Subnet mask

    • Gateway

    • Primary and secondary DNS servers

Once saved, you can access Samba and other services using the fixed IP address.

If your device has multiple network ports, you can enable link aggregation and select a working mode:

  • Balance Polling Mode: Both ports transmit packets in turn, providing load balancing and fault tolerance. Requires switch support for port aggregation.

  • Primary/standby Mode: One port is active, the other serves as backup. If the active port fails, the backup takes over automatically.

  • Dynamic Link Aggregation Mode: Requires a switch with LACP support. Provides real-time monitoring, load balancing, and failover.

  • Adaptive Load Balancing: Distributes traffic across ports automatically. Does not require switch support.

Note: To ensure proper use, connect both ports to the same switch.

Steps:

  1. Go to SET UP LAN Settings Link Aggregation Mode.

  1. Select the desired mode and click Update.

Power Management

On the Power Management page, you can perform remote shutdown, restart, and scheduled power tasks.

Safe Shutdown

Available to Owners and Administrators only.

Click Shutdown to remotely power off the DASSET device.

Important: If your device does not support remote power-on, it can only be restarted by:

  1. Power cycling (unplugging and re-plugging the power cable, if the device supports auto power-on).

  2. Pressing the physical power button on the device.

Restart

Available to Owners and Administrators only.

Click Reboot to remotely reboot the DASSET device.

Scheduled Power Management

Available to Owners and Administrators only (regular users can only view rules).

Steps:

  1. Go to SET UP Power Management Scheduled Power on/off and enable the option.

  1. Configure rules:

  • System Time: Based on the device's time zone.

  • Time of power off/on: Define exact times or adjust by hour using arrows.

  • Repeat: Apply the rule daily, on weekdays, weekends, or custom days of the week.

  1. To disable scheduling, simply switch off the option.

Device Unbinding

Owner Unbinding

The Owner can unbind the device. This action unbinds all members associated with the device.

  1. Go to SET UP Unbind this device.
