Chapter 3: Getting Started

3.1 Web Configuration

STEP 1:
Connect the Administrator's PC and the LAN port of MH-2K/4K to a hub or switch. Make sure there is a link
light on the hub/switch for both connections. MH-2K/4K has an embedded web server used for management
and configuration. Use a web browser to display the configurations of MH-2K/4K (such as Internet Explorer
4(or above) or Netscape 4.0(or above) with full java script support). The default IP address of MH-2K/4K is
192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Therefore, the IP address of the Administrator PC must be
in the range between 192.168.1.2– 192.168.1.254
If the company's LAN IP Address is not subnet of 192.168.1.0, (i.e. LAN IP Address is 172.16.0.1), then the
Administrator must change his/her PC IP address to be within the same range of the LAN subnet (i.e.
172.16.0.2). Reboot the PC if necessary.
By default, MH-2K/4K is shipped with its DHCP Server function enabled. This means the client computers on
the LAN network including the Administrator PC can set their TCP/IP settings to automatically obtain an IP
address from the device.
The following table is a list of private IP addresses. These addresses may not be used as a WAN IP address.
10.0.0.0 ~ 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 ~ 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 ~ 192.168.255.255
STEP 2:
Once the Administrator PC has an IP address on the same network as the Multi-Homing Security Gateway,
open up an Internet web browser and type in
A pop-up screen will appear and prompt for a username and password. A username and password is required
to connect to MH-2K/4K. Enter the default login username and password of Administrator (see below).
Username: admin
Password: admin
Click OK.
