Working with the M111

Management tool

Management tool

The management tool is a web-based interface to the M111 that provides easy access to all configuration and monitoring functions.

The computer used to connect to the management tool must:

Have at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 7/8 or Firefox 3.x.

Be able to establish an IP connection with the AP.

Starting the management tool

To launch the management tool, specify the following in the address bar of your browser:

https://M111_IP_address

The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1.

The default username and password is admin. New passwords must be 6 to 16 printable ASCII characters in length with at least 4 different characters. Passwords are case sensitive. Space characters and double quotes ( “ ) cannot be used. Passwords must also conform to the selected security policy as described in Security policies on page 3-6.

For information on starting the management tool for the first time, see the M111 Quickstart Guide available at www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals.

A security certificate warning is displayed the first time that you connect to the management tool. This is normal. Select whatever option is needed in your Web browser to continue to the management tool. The default certificate provided with the M111 will trigger a warning message on most browsers because it is self-signed. To remove this warning message, you must replace the default certificate. See About certificate warnings on page 3-43.
