Establishing a local configuration connection

The mGuard is configured via a web browser that is executed on the configuration com-
puter.
NOTE: The web browser used must support SSL encryption (i.e., HTTPS).
The mGuard can be accessed via one of the following addresses:
Table 12-5
Preset addresses
Default setting
mGuard industrial rs
Proceed as follows:
Start a web browser.
Make sure that the browser, when it is started, does not automatically establish a con-
nection as otherwise the connection establishment to the mGuard may be more diffi-
cult.
In Internet Explorer, make the following settings:
In the "Tools" menu, select "Internet Options" and click on the "Connections" tab:
Under "Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings", select "Never dial a connection".
Enter the address of the mGuard completely into the address line of the web browser
(refer to Table 12-5).
You access the administrator website of the mGuard.
If the administrator web page of the mGuard cannot be accessed
If the address of the mGuard in Router, PPPoE or PPTP mode has been set to a different
value, and the current address is not known, the mGuard must be reset to the default set-
tings specified above for the IP address using the Recovery procedure (see "Performing a
recovery procedure" on page 233).
If the web browser repeatedly reports that the page cannot be displayed, try the following:
Check whether the default gateway of the connected configuration computer is initial-
ized (see "Local configuration on startup (EIS)" on page 225).
Disable any active firewalls.
Make sure that the browser does not use a proxy server.
In Internet Explorer (Version 8), make the following settings: "Tools" menu, "Internet
Options", "Connections" tab.
Click on "Properties" under "LAN settings".
Check that "Use a proxy server for your LAN" (under "Proxy server") is not activated in
the "Local Area Network (LAN) Settings" dialog box.
If other LAN connections are active on the computer, deactivate them until the configu-
ration has been completed.
Under the Windows menu "Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network Connections" or
"Network and Dial-up Connections", right-click on the corresponding icon and select
"Disable" in the context menu.
