1.4 Front panel LEDs The 5 LEDs on the front indicate the operating status of the MC2X8. All LEDs are 3-color red, green and blue LEDs. If all three colors are switched on, the LEDs light up white. All 5 LEDs light up white once briefly after switching on or after a reset. If the WLAN + LAN + SER LEDs flash blue, either a new firmware is being flashed or a new configuration is being activated.
green WLAN connection OK. A brieforange (green + red) light indicates activity (sending or receiving) on the interface.

Initial start-up For initial start-up, please first connect a computer with an Ethernet connection to the LAN connection of the MC using a patch cable. After switching on the supply voltage to the MC, all LEDs will light up white briefly. Then only the ON LED lights up green, which soon starts to flash orange-green.
After changing this setup, press the "Refresh" button on the MC-Config program again. An active Firewall on the PC might prevent communication with the MC. After starting, the MC-Config program first determines all network interfaces that are currently active on the computer. Broadcast UDP requests are sent to these interfaces, to which MC devices respond.
2.3 Default-Konfiguration The MC2X8 can be reset to the factory default settings in 3 ways: Via the reset button → 2.2 With the MC-Config program → Via the website → "Device" → "Configuration management" → "Reset configuration to defaults" This opens the configuration menu with the default settings. If necessary, you can make your own settings here and set and activate them with "Save &...

SSID - Encryption Enable profile Profile → PR1 SSID YourSSID Network name as it is set in the AP Encryption mode WPA/WPA2/WPA3 (Auto) The MCX8 takes the correct value from the AP Keying Protocol Here too, the MCX8 adjusts itself to the AP PSC of the AP PSK as set in the AP.
5G / LTE settings The various configuration options available for 5G / LTE are explained below: Cellular Enable LTE Activate this checkbox to enable the LTE function so that the device can connect to the LTE network. Enter the personal identification number (PIN) of your SIM card to access the network. Username + Password Enter the user name + password provided by your network operator to connect to the LTE network.
Connection timeout Set the timeout of the watchdog in seconds, which determines how long the watchdog waits before it considers the connection to be interrupted. Custom LTE band With this setting, you can restrict the device to certain LTE bands, e.g. B43 for LTE-B43 only. If you want to use multiple bands, separate them with commas, e.g.
