in the groove on the left side, right side or bottom of the router.

Setup Guide - mdex Router MX560
Page 14
2.6 Connection of terminal devices
The terminal devices can be connected via a LAN socket (or optionally via WIFI).
2.6.1 Connection of one terminal device
The MX560 is already preconfigured for the connection of a terminal device.
Please observe the following instructions.
1. Connect the terminal device to the LAN port using a network cable.
(By default, the WAN port is not intended for connecting terminal devices! )
2. Perform the network setting of the connected terminal device:
The terminal device can be set to 'Obtain IP address automatically'. The MX560 is
preconfigured in the pre-configuration for a dynamic allocation of IP addresses (DHCP) and
then assigns the IP address 192.168.0.100.
Alternatively, the network settings can also be permanently set in the terminal device:
IP address: 192.168.0.100
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1 (LAN IP address of MX560)
DNS server: 192.168.0.1 (LAN IP address of MX560)
The IP address range of the DHCP-server should then be changed according to Chapter 3.8
DHCP-Server (Page 25) so that 192.168.0.100 is no longer assigned automatically.
3. All incoming data packets to the WAN IP address of the MX560 (SIM card) will be forwarded
to the IP address 192.168.0.100. This terminal device can thus be accessed remotely.
No PoE (Power over Ethernet) powered network cable may be connected to the LAN/WAN
sockets of the MX560! The PoE voltage would destroy the MX560!
The MX560 assigns only one IP address by default!
If you have connected a PC to the Router for configuration, the IP address
192.168.0.100 assigned to the PC will only be assigned to another connected terminal
after 5 minutes (timer preset Leasetime) after the PC has been removed. A Router
restart immediately releases the IP address again.
If a public.IP is used, unrestricted access via the Internet is possible. For security
reasons, the end device should therefore be protected against unauthorized access
with a firewall. Additional protection is provided if, instead of port forwarding is only set
up for the required ports as described in Chapter 3.9.2 Port-Forwarding (Page 28).
LAN

Setup Guide - mdex Router MX560
Page 15
2.6.2 Connection of several terminal devices
To connect several terminal devices to the MX560, please observe the following instructions:
1. Several terminal devices are connected using a standard Ethernet switch (e.g. mdex Ethernet
Switch), which is connected to the LAN port of the MX560. The terminal devices are then
connected to the Ethernet switch.
2. Network settings of the connected terminal devices:
If the terminal devices are set to obtain their IP addresses automatically from the MX560, you
must extend the DHCP-server to assign additional IP addresses as described in chapter 3.8
DHCP-Server (Page 25) and, if necessary, configure a fixed assignment as described in
chapter 3.8.1 Fixed assignment of IP addresses (Page 26).
Alternatively, you can also permanently set the IP addresses in the terminal devices.
IP address: 192,168.0.2 to 192,168.0.255
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1 (LAN IP address of MX560)
DNS server: 192.168.0.1 (LAN IP address of MX560)
3. If several connected terminals should be accessible remotely, a forwarding according to
chapter 3.9.2 Port-Forwarding (Page 28) must be configured in the MX560.
If remote access is not desired for a connected terminal device, the preset 'DMZ
Configuration' should be deactivated for security reasons according to chapter 3.9.1
Host-Forwarding (DMZ Configuration) (Page 27).
LAN
switch
For the connection of only two terminals it is possible to switch the WAN port to LAN
port as described in Chapter 4.1 Configure WAN port as LAN (Page 33).

Setup Guide - mdex Router MX560
Page 16
3 Configuration
3.1 Connecting the PC
The network card of the PC can be set to Obtain IP address automatically.
Plug the network cable of the PC into the LAN socket of the MX560.
(By default, the WAN socket is not intended for connecting devices!)
The MX560 is preconfigured for a dynamic assignment of IP addresses (DHCP) and automatically
assigns the IP address 192.168.0.100 to the connected PC.
The PC and the MX560 are now in the same IP address range so that the PC can access the MX560
web server with a web browser.
The MX560 DHCP-Server assigns only one IP address (192.168.0.100) to a connected PC or
terminal device!
•If another terminal device is already connected which has already obtained the IP
address 192.168.0.100 automatically, remove this device again.
•The IP address 192.168.0.100 is only released after 5 minutes and then assigned to
your connected PC. By restarting the MX560, the IP address is immediately released
and then assigned to your connected PC.
•Alternatively, you can set the PC network card to a fixed IP address from the IP
address range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.255 (e.g. 192.168.0.20).

3.2 Login to WebUI
Enter this URL in your web browser: http://192.168.0.1:8080
(Or the current IP address of the MX560, if this has been changed.)
Username: admin
Password: admin01 (or the current password if it has already been changed.)
3.2.1 Important notes about Ping Reboot
The automatic connection check to the ping server ping.mdex.de is activated by default. Please
observe the following instructions for the preset Ping Reboot.
Without connection to mdex, the MX560 is automatically rebooted every 15 minutes.
•During the MX560 configuration the "Ping-Reboot" should be deactivated temporarily to
prevent an unwanted restart of the Router.
Services →Auto reboot: Tab Ping Reboot_
The changed setting must be saved by clicking on _Save_.
•
The "Ping Reboot" should then be reactivated for operation.
•
The default server 'ping.mdex.de' can only be reached from the mdex network!
If you use the MX560 without mdex IP service (fixed.IP+ / public.IP) or without mdex
SIM, you must set a publicly accessible server at _Edito, e.g. public-ping.mdex.de
(185.39.176.22).
For detailed instructions about Ping Reboot please refer to chapter 3.11 Ping Reboot (P. 31).
