Installation guide
Preparing setup 9
In Network Settings it is possible to define the connection possibilities of MLGateway.
The aim here is to fit the network settings which was observed in the router before.
The default Hostname is ‘mlgw’. This can be changed, eg. to ‘mlgw1’ or ‘mlgw2’
(if there is more than one mlgw in the installation).
! It is important that the hostname is dened, otherwise ML Gateway can not be
found using Multicast DNS (also known as mDNS or Bonjour).
If the network is a DHCP setup, this can be selected, but it is recommended to use
a static IP address for ML Gateway.
If the network is a non-DHCP setup, the IP address must be dened manually in
order to t the IP range in the router. This means that the rst 3 'octets' must be
the same as the network setup in the router conguration.
- Choose Static connection and ll in the elds for:
IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway, DNS server.
Tip !
An easy way nd the addresses for Gateway and for DNS server is to:
PC: Open a command prompt (cmd in Windows), and type ipcong /all.
Mac: Click System Preferences and then Network (Router = Gateway).
- Click Apply settings to apply settings immediately.
! After applying new settings, it is necessary to reconnect the web browser to the new address. In case of problems nding ML Gateway, the IP
address can be reset to default using the setup button on the front panel (see link).
If the computer supports Multicast DNS (default on Mac/Linux, utility required for Windows), ML Gateway can be found by typing mlgw.local in
the browser’s address eld.
The next step is to mount ML Gateway in the installation setup. It is recommended to use the angle bracket for a rack-mout solution (see next
page).
