Connect external USB drive to Padlock

Connect Padlock

You can connect a single Lyve Mobile Array using a direct connection as well as multiple Lyve Mobile Arrays using a network connection. Padlock supports simultaneous direct and network connections.

Direct connection

  1. Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet management port on PCIe Adapter or Rackmount Receiver. (Ethernet cable not included.) Padlock can unlock only one device via direct connection.

  2. PCIe Adapter


    Rackmount Receiver

    A direct connection only supports one Lyve Mobile Array. Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to the correct Ethernet port on the back of Rackmount Receiver.



  3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN2 port (DHCP server).

 

The LED on Lyve Mobile Array changes from solid orange to solid green, indicating that Padlock has successfully unlocked the device.

Network connection

  2. Right-click Disk drives and select Scan for hardware changes.

Linux

  1. On the Linux station, open a terminal session.
  2. Enter the following:

Padlock web interface

You can monitor Lyve Mobile Padlock or add a device manually from a Windows PC.

On your Windows PC, open a file browser and click on Network. Click on the Padlock icon under Other Devices. The Padlock interface will launch in your default web browser.

The web interface can be helpful if one or more authorized Lyve Mobile Arrays remain locked. You can:

  • Confirm that Padlock has detected locked devices.
  • Add a device manually using its IP address and serial number.
