Replibit - Default vs. Advanced Configuration on a New Replibit BDR Appliance

Default Configuration

Default Configuration is the quickest, easiest and least expensive way to order a BDR. 

Note: A Replibit BDR Appliance with Default Configuration is also sometimes referred to as a non-configured Replibit BDR Appliance.

Default configuration does not incur any additional fees.

When you receive the BDR, you setup customer specific configurations such as network configuration and login/authentication credentials.

• Devices arrive with the Replibit software installed, but are not yet provisioned for a specific customer or network environment.
• Networking defaults to DHCP.
• Connect the device to the network and power it on.  After booting, the login screen on the console displays the IP address the device received from your DHCP server.
• To troubleshoot, or specify a network address, login at the console using the ‘replibit’ user, with a password of ‘replibit’ and run aristosnet to check or set a static IP address to the device. 

Advanced Configuration 

• Advanced Configuration incurs an additional fee and requires you to enter customer-specific information such as networking configuration and login/authentication.
• Note: A Replibit BDR Appliance with Advanced Configuration is also sometimes referred to as a preconfigured Replibit BDR Appliance
• Your unit arrives ready to use, allowing you to plug in any unit to the network and simply power on. You can even ship units directly to a customer site.  
• When you select the Advanced Configuration option during the order process, the configuration settings dialog window is unlocked and you can enter your customer configuration details. 
• Note: If you choose this method, you must remember passwords between the time of ordering and setup at the customer location (Axcient does not store these passwords for recovery.)
