10 Access the web interface of the mbNET On the web interface of the mbNET a Status page and a Diagnostic page is available. On the Status page, five steps with additional information are displayed, which must be run through when connecting the mbNET with the portal. The Diagnostic page helps you in case of a failed connection establishment in trobleshooting. Requirements: • The configuration PC and the mbNET must be in the same IP address range. Depending on the LAN IP that you assigned to the device in the portal, you may need to assign the configuration PC to the same address range. If you assigned the mbNET e.g. the LAN IP 192.168.2.200, you need the configuration PC to assign the same address range (192.168.2.X). This applies to both the IP address and subnet mask. • The mbNET must be accessible via the LAN interface of the configuration PC. Start a browser and enter the LAN IP you have assigned in the portal to the mbNET. To log on to mbNET enter the following data: Username: admin Password: The default password is located on the back of the device. - 22 -...
