Set Up Management Access to the Mobile Security
Manager
By default, the management port (MGT) on the GP-100 appliance (also called the Mobile Security Manager) has
an IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a username/password of admin/admin. For security reasons, you must change
these settings before continuing with other Mobile Security Manager configuration. These initial configuration
tasks must be performed using a direct physical connection to the appliance (either a serial connection to the
Console port or an RJ-45 connection to the MGT interface). During initial configuration, you will assign the
network settings that will allow you to connect to the appliance’s web interface for all subsequent configuration
tasks.
Set Up Network Access to the GP-100 Appliance
Step 1 Rack mount the GP-100 appliance. Refer to the GP-100 Appliance Hardware Reference Guide for
instructions.
Step 2 Obtain the required network settings for
the MGT interface.
• IP address for MGT port
• Netmask
• Default gateway
• DNS server address
Step 3 Connect your computer to the GP-100
appliance.
Connect to the appliance in one of the following ways:
• Connect a serial cable from your computer to the Console port
and connect to the appliance using terminal emulation software
(9600-8-N-1). Wait a few minutes for the boot-up sequence to
complete; when the appliance is ready, the login prompt displays.
• Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable from your computer to the
MGT port on the appliance. From a browser, go to
https://192.168.1.1. If necessary, change the IP address on your
computer to an address in the 192.168.1.0/24 network, such as
192.168.1.2, in order to access this URL.
Step 4 When prompted, log in to the appliance. Log in using the default username and password (admin/admin).
The appliance will begin to initialize.
Step 5 Define the network settings and services
to allow on the MGT interface.
