Working with the M111

IP address configuration

Web server

You can also configure the web server ports from which access to the management tool is permitted.

Secure web server port: Specify a port number for the M111 to use to provide secure HTTPS access to the management tool. Default is 443.

Before logging on to the management tool, you must accept a security certificate. 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.

Web server port: Specify a port number for the M111 to use to provide standard HTTP access to the management tool. These connections are met with a warning, and the browser is redirected to the secure web server port. Default is 80.

Auto-refresh

This option controls how often the M111 updates the information in group boxes that show the auto-refresh icon in their title bar. Under Interval, specify the number of seconds between refreshes.

IP address configuration

IP address settings are configured using the Bridge port. This is a logical port that handles the addressing settings for both Port 1 and the Wireless port.

By default, the M111 is configured to operate as a DHCP client on both ports. If no DHCP server is found on either port, the M111 assigns the address 192.168.1.1 to Port 1 and the Wireless port.

Make sure that only one DHCP server is accessible via either Port 1 or the Wireless port. If a DHCP server is accessible via both ports, the M111 will randomly choose one of the servers.

When operating as a DHCP client, it is possible the that address assigned to the M111 will change whenever the DHCP address lease is renewed. This will disrupt access to the management tool, as you must determine the new address (likely by querying the DHCP server).
