Chapter 2: Getting Started
2. Logging In
A. Bring up a Web browser on your PC. In the browser address line, type the IP address of the FF240-IP: type 192.168.2.1 and press Enter.
Note: Your browser may show a warning message at this point. This is related to the certificate issued by the FF240-IP. Browsers will not allow access without a valid certificate - the FF240-IP does have a valid certificate, but it is self-signed (i.e. no third party verification), so your browser displays a warning about this. You may safely continue (more details are given in step 5).
B. The Login screen will appear. At this point you can be assured that the FF240-IP is connected to the network.
C. At the Login screen, enter admin (all lower case) in the Username field and admin (all lower case) in the Password field.
D. Click the Login button. The Web Management Home screen will appear. From this screen, you can access all of the FF240-IP Server software screens.
Note: The FF240-IP units have real-time clocks. The default setting is to set the time via a timer server (time.nist.gov). If the time is not accurate, a message may be issued by the web browser that the certificate is invalid or expired. If this occurs, you should add an exception temporarily until the IP Address and date/time are correctly set.
Once the date/time and IP Address are set, you will be able to generate a certificate with your information (see Certificates section of Chapter 3).
3.Setting FF240-IP IP Addresses
A.Click on System Configuration in the top navigation bar.
B.Network Configuration is the first sub-category found in the left-hand navigation frame. Fill in the IP information that applies to your unit. The fields for “IP Address,” “Subnet Mask,” and “Default Gateway” are required. The Hostname contains the domain name for the FF240-IP. This is used for T.37 store and forward faxing. Email clients must send the email with the ‘To’ address in the format: FAX=7635551234@Hostname (where “Hostname” is the FF240-IP domain name). A “Primary DNS” and “Secondary DNS” may be considered optional, but, in any case, do not leave an invalid value in either of these fields.
C.Click Save. After the Save button has been clicked, it takes a moment for the FF240-IP to update the addresses.
4.Resetting Admin PC to Its Regular IP Address
In step #1 above, you recorded the original network configuration of the administrator’s PC and then reset the IP address as required to allow communication with the FF240-IP unit. You may now set the network settings of the administrator’s PC back to its original value or to any other value that will allow you to communicate with the FF240-IP at its new IP address.
