For virtual and physical versions of the appliance, network settings are initially configured during the first login to the Administrator Console or the Command Line Console. See Change appliance network settings.
For K1 as a Service, the appliance is preconfigured with a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. For configuration information, see the KACE as a Service Setup Guide. Go to https://support.quest.com/k1000-as-a-service/release-notes-guides.

On the Network Settings page, in the Appliance Network Configuration section, provide the following information: |
Enter the fully-qualified domain name of the appliance. This is the Hostname concatenated with Domain. For example: k1000.example.com. Devices connect to the appliance using this name. Quest recommends that you add a static IP address entry for the appliance to your DNS server. If you use an SSL certificate, the hostname must be fully qualified and it must match the name on the certificate. | |
Select this check box to enable the system to generate the KACE SMA web server name using this format: Hostname.Domain. For example: k1000.example.com. Clear this check box to enter a custom web server name. |

To use an external SMTP server, select Enable SMTP Server in the Email Configuration section, then specify SMTP server options: |
Specify the hostname or IP address of an external SMTP server, such as smtp.gmail.com. External SMTP servers must allow anonymous (non-authenticated) outbound email transport. Ensure that your network policies allow the appliance to contact the SMTP server directly. In addition, the mail server must be configured to allow the relaying of email from the appliance without authentication. If you specify an IP address, enclose the address in brackets. For example [10.10.10.10]. | |
Enter the username of an account that has access to the external SMTP server, such as your_account_name@gmail.com. | |
