About
passwords
The default username and password is admin. New passwords must be 6 to 16 printable
ASCII characters in length with at least 4 different characters. Passwords are case sensitive.
Space characters and double quotes ( “ ) cannot be used. Passwords must also conform to the
selected security policy as described in Security policies on page 3-6.
E. Set the M111 IP address
By default the M111 operates as a DHCP client on both the Ethernet port and the Wireless
port. Once it establishes a connection with a DHCP server via either port, it will receive a new
IP address from the DHCP server address pool, and the management tool will no longer be
accessible at the default address of 192.168.1.1. To maintain access to the management tool at
a known IP address, you can use one of the following strategies:
Pre-configure the DHCP server on the network to assign a specific IP address to the
M111. To do this you need to specify the M111 MAC address and a reserved IP address on
the DHCP server. The M111 MAC address is printed on the M111 label identified as
Wireless Base MAC, or listed on the management tool Home or Login page as
Wireless MAC address.
Define a management address. This is a secondary IP address on which the management
tool can be reached. See To assign a management address on page 3-34.
Assign a static IP address to the M111 as follows:
1. Select Network > DNS.
2. Under DNS servers, set Server to the IP address of the DNS server on the private
network.
3. Select Network > Ports > Bridge port.
4. Under Assign IP address via, select Static and then Configure.
5. Under Port settings, configure the following settings:
IP address: Set the IP address on the same subnet as the MSM AP to which the
M111 will connect once installed. Respect any DHCP server-mandated static
address ranges. For this scenario, use 192.168.5.11.
Mask: Set the corresponding mask for the IP address. This scenario uses the
mask 255.255.255.0.
Default gateway: Set the IP address of the gateway on the network.
