Starting up the mGuard pci² SD via a temporary manage-
ment IP address
If the mGuard pci² SD is connected without a functioning external network in initial startup
mode, the device cannot be accessed via address https://1.1.1.1/.
In this case, the mGuard pci² SD is accessible automatically via management IP address
192.168.1.1/24. This applies to the internal (LAN 1) and the external (WAN 1) network inter-
faces. An address conflict with the external network interface is not possible as long as
WAN 1 is not connected to a functioning network. This management IP address is normally
non-persistent.
However, if the external network interface (WAN 1) is connected after booting the
mGuard pci² SD, the management IP address remains valid. In this case, an address
conflict with an existing address in the external network is possible.
Starting up the mGuard pci² SD without external network
•
Connect the internal network interface (LAN 1) of the mGuard pci² SD to the corre-
sponding Ethernet network card of the configuration computer or a valid network con-
nection of the internal network.
•
Disconnect the external network interface (WAN 1) of the mGuard pci² SD from the ex-
ternal network (WAN).
•
Switch on the system. The STAT LED lights up green when the supply voltage has been
connected properly.
The mGuard boots the firmware. The STAT LED flashes green.
Adapting the configuration computer
In order to access the mGuard pci² for configuration, the configuration computer must be
adapted to the management IP address of the mGuard pci² SD.
Example of Microsoft Windows XP:
•
Set the following in the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties" of the relevant network
interface of the configuration computer:
IP address:
Subnet mask:
Default gateway:
•
Enter the address assigned into the browser: https://192.168.1.1/
•
Configure the mGuard as described in "Configuring the mGuard pci² SD" on page 97.
