Conguration and Management
The MMC110MMST Media Converter can be configured and managed
through SNMP, Web browsers, and Telnet, as outlined in the following
sections:
Web Browser Conguration
Logging Into The Monitoring System
The MMC110MMS is accessible through a web browser such as Internet
Explorer. To access the MMC110MMS monitoring system, enter the de-
fault IP address of the MMC110MMS, 192.168.1.10, into your browser’s
address bar. By default, the username and password to access the
monitoring system are set to blank fields. The password can be changed
once the user has logged in; the username is not required to log into the
monitoring system and can be left blank.
Logging Out Of The Monitoring System
The MMC110MMS monitoring system does not include a separate log out
function. The system automatically ends a management session when the
browser software is closed. Logging off by closing the browser and then
logging in again may be required if changes made during a management
session do not seem to take effect on-screen.
