IP models of the MC5 family possess a further collection of configuration
options related specifically to IP networking. It is important that the options
are correctly set up for your installation BEFORE being connected to an open IP
network.

To configure IP-specific settings

1 From a local user port (for security reasons, the IP configuration option

cannot be accessed from remote user ports), log on as ‘admin’ user.

2 Press

(hotkeys can be changed).

3 Press to select ‘More menus’.
4 Select ‘Functions’ and then select ‘Configure IP port’.

• If the unit is being configured for the first time or following a reset,

the unit will display the first of five screens, as shown opposite

• If the unit has been previously

IP-configured it will display the
IP Configuration menu, as
shown below

To use the initial IP-configuration sequence
Set the options in each screen and then select Next to proceed.

Admin password

Enter a password of at least six characters that has a mix
of letters and numerals. The background colour provides
an indication of password suitability and is initially red
to indicate that the password is not sufficient. When a
password with reasonable strength has been entered it
will change to green.

Time and Date

Set these correctly as all entries in the activity log are time
stamped using them.

Encryption

See

Encryption settings

for a description of the issues

and the settings.

Use DHCP/IP address/Net Mask/Gateway

You need to either set the DHCP option to ‘Yes’ or
manually enter a valid IP address, Net mask and Gateway.
See

Networking issues

for more details.

VNC and HTTP ports

These should remain set to 5900 and 80, respectively,
unless they clash with an existing setup within the
network. See

Networking issues

for more details.

Modem/ISDN port details

The default items here are perfectly adequate for
the majority of modem and ISDN terminal adapter
installations.
The Server IP and Client IP addresses are used to form an
isolated two-device PPP network connection via the dial
up link. Their settings are not related to any other ‘real’
network settings within the MC5-IP unit.

Secure keys generation

With every mouse move and keypress, the single dash
will move across the screen (unless the same key is
pressed repeatedly). Periodically, a new star character will
be added to the bar as the random data are accepted
as part of the new encryption key. When the bar is full,
the final encryption keys for your MC5-IP will be created
– this process takes roughly 30 to 40 seconds. Once the
secure keys have been calculated the MC5-IP will show
the IP configuration menu.

Note: Screen 5 of 5 is
displayed while the secure
keys are being generated.
