A complete Data Ark includes its host and prepared system storage, with either an external library drive or a system-drive library. Installed content needs no internet connection.
What you need
- The supplied host, system storage, power supply and any supplied library drive.
- A browser device on the hotspot or the same local network.
First start
1. Connect the supplied library drive, if any, before applying power.
2. For a hotspot appliance, join its supplied Wi-Fi network and open http://192.168.4.1/setup.html.
3. For a LAN appliance, connect it and your browser to the same local network; use the device address supplied with it.
4. If first-owner setup is pending, enter the supplied private code and choose the two passwords. If the owner already set credentials locally, no additional code step is needed.
Setup authorization
Use the private four-digit code supplied for this particular card or appliance when browser first-owner setup is pending. The supplied-card sheet and public guide use the same template; the public copy never includes a real code. Local setup can establish credentials without a code.
No online activation, DEJ Software account or registration is required. A new recipient gets a fresh identity and code rather than inheriting the original owner’s credentials.
Hardware and operating notes
- Keep the supplied storage attached while the appliance is running.
- Use System / System / Power to restart or shut down safely. A shutdown requires someone to power the device back on.
