Web server
You can also configure the web server ports from which access to the management tool is
permitted.
Secure web server port: Specify a port number for the M111 to use to provide secure
HTTPS access to the management tool. Default is 443.
Before logging on to the management tool, you must accept a security certificate. The
default certificate provided with the M111 will trigger a warning message on most
browsers because it is self-signed. To remove this warning message, you must replace the
default certificate. See About certificate warnings on page 3-43.
Web server port: Specify a port number for the M111 to use to provide standard HTTP
access to the management tool. These connections are met with a warning, and the
browser is redirected to the secure web server port. Default is 80.
Auto-refresh
This option controls how often the M111 updates the information in group boxes that show
the auto-refresh icon in their title bar. Under Interval, specify the number of seconds
between refreshes.
IP address configuration
IP address settings are configured using the Bridge port. This is a logical port that handles the
addressing settings for both Port 1 and the Wireless port.
By default, the M111 is configured to operate as a DHCP client on both ports. If no DHCP
server is found on either port, the M111 assigns the address 192.168.1.1 to Port 1 and the
Wireless port.
Note Make sure that only one DHCP server is accessible via either Port 1 or the Wireless port. If a
DHCP server is accessible via both ports, the M111 will randomly choose one of the servers.
When operating as a DHCP client, it is possible the that address assigned to the M111 will
change whenever the DHCP address lease is renewed. This will disrupt access to the
management tool, as you must determine the new address (likely by querying the DHCP
server).
