Access to IP-address in App/Cloud
DarkJedi:
It is a bit annoying to be forced to use the touch-panel to see which ip-address the Almond+ is given (assigned my local DHCP-server) when I have to access the webgui - especially since most of the real diagnosis happens in the webgui :)
Even better would be to have it broadcast on the lan - like my other NAS and router devices, so that I can locate it without having to find the ip address manually firxt.
Must be a small thing to add, I hope...
mparadis:
Seconded
LGNilsson:
Why wouldn't you just assign a static DHCP lease from your DHCP server to the Almond+ so it always uses the same IP address?
I'm curious, what other routers do you have that supports OOB? This is not a feature I've ever seen on a router, although it's common on most NAS:es.
DarkJedi:
Because I don't have admin access to the primary router, which is running the DHCP server and prefer to be able to bind service consumption from clients (tv, ipad, xbox, sonos) to names not ip's of the server services (printer, nas, router/access point).
LGNilsson:
Well, this isn't something that's going to happen any time soon, that's for sure, as we have far more important things to do right now.
What you want to do is a "depreciated" way of doing networking and it's a really bad way of doing things, just saying.
