Chapter 2: Getting Started
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. FF240-IP Admin User Guide 14
2. Logging In
A. Bring up a Web browser on your PC. In the browser address line, type the IP address of the
FF240-IP: type 192.168.2.1 and press Enter.
Note
: Your browser may show a warning message at this point. This is related to the certificate
issued by the FF240-IP. Browsers will not allow access without a valid certificate - the FF240-IP
does have a valid certificate, but it is self-signed (i.e. no third party verification), so your browser
displays a warning about this. You may safely continue (more details are given in step 5).
B. The Login screen will appear. At this point you can be assured that the FF240-IP is connected to
the network.
C. At the Login screen, enter admin (all lower case) in the Username field and admin (all lower case)
in the Password field.
D. Click the Login button. The Web Management Home screen will appear. From this screen, you
can access all of the FF240-IP Server software screens.
Note
: The FF240-IP units have real-time clocks. The default setting is to set the time via a timer
server (time.nist.gov). If the time is not accurate, a message may be issued by the web browser
that the certificate is invalid or expired. If this occurs, you should add an exception temporarily
until the IP Address and date/time are correctly set.
Once the date/time and IP Address are set, you will be able to generate a certificate with your
information (see Certificates section of Chapter 3).
3. Setting FF240-IP IP Addresses
A. Click on Sy
stem Configuration in the top navigation bar.
B. Network Configuration is the first sub-category found in the left-hand navigation frame. Fill in the
IP information that applies to your unit. The fields for “IP Address,” “Subnet Mask,” and “Default
Gateway” are required.
The Hostname contains the domain name for the FF240-IP. This is used
for T.37 store and forward faxing. Email clients must send the email with the ‘To’ address in the
format: FAX=7635551234@Hostname (where “Hostname” is the FF240-IP domain name). A
“Primary DNS” and “Secondary DNS” may be considered optional, but, in any case, do not leave
an invalid value in either of these fields.
C. Click Save. After the Save button has been clicked, it takes a moment for the FF240-IP to update
the addresses.
4. Resetting Admin PC to Its Regular IP Address
In ste
p #1 above, you recorded the original network configuration of the administrator’s PC and then
reset the IP address as required to allow communication with the FF240-IP unit. You may now set the
network settings of the administrator’s PC back to its original value or to any other value that will
allow you to communicate with the FF240-IP at its new IP address.
