Initial IP conguration
IP models of the MC5 family possess a further collection of conguration
options related specically to IP networking. It is important that the options
are correctly set up for your installation BEFORE being connected to an open IP
network.
To congure IP-specic settings
1 From a local user port (for security reasons, the IP conguration option
cannot be accessed from remote user ports), log on as ‘admin’ user.
2 Press (hotkeys can be changed).
3 Press to select ‘More menus’.
4 Select ‘Functions’ and then select ‘Congure IP port’.
• If the unit is being congured for the rst time or following a reset,
the unit will display the rst of ve screens, as shown opposite
ð
• If the unit has been previously
IP-congured it will display the
IP Conguration menu, as
shown below

See Congure IP port for details.
To use the initial IP-conguration sequence
Set the options in each screen and then select Next to proceed.
Admin password
Enter a password of at least six characters that has a mix
of letters and numerals. The background colour provides
an indication of password suitability and is initially red
to indicate that the password is not sufcient. When a
password with reasonable strength has been entered it
will change to green.
Time and Date
Set these correctly as all entries in the activity log are time
stamped using them.
Encryption
See Encryption settings for a description of the issues
and the settings.
Use DHCP/IP address/Net Mask/Gateway
You need to either set the DHCP option to ‘Yes’ or
manually enter a valid IP address, Net mask and Gateway.
See Networking issues for more details.
VNC and HTTP ports
These should remain set to 5900 and 80, respectively,
unless they clash with an existing setup within the
network. See Networking issues for more details.
Modem/ISDN port details
The default items here are perfectly adequate for
the majority of modem and ISDN terminal adapter
installations.
The Server IP and Client IP addresses are used to form an
isolated two-device PPP network connection via the dial
up link. Their settings are not related to any other ‘real’
network settings within the MC5-IP unit.
Secure keys generation
With every mouse move and keypress, the single dash
will move across the screen (unless the same key is
pressed repeatedly). Periodically, a new star character will
be added to the bar as the random data are accepted
as part of the new encryption key. When the bar is full,
the nal encryption keys for your MC5-IP will be created
– this process takes roughly 30 to 40 seconds. Once the
secure keys have been calculated the MC5-IP will show
the IP conguration menu.
