7.2.1. Initial configuration with the unit in Provisioning Mode

The Cisco FM4200 Mobi cannot be operated without entering some basic

configuration settings. These settings allow the unit to connect to a local

network and communicate with the network hardware.

If a new unit is being configured for use for the first time, or has been

reset to factory default configuration for any reason, the unit will enter

Provisioning Mode. This mode allows you to program the unit's initial

configuration settings.

If the unit is in Provisioning Mode, it will try to connect to the internet using

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP):

• If the unit successfully connects to the internet, you can do a

centralized configuration of the unit using the FM Racer interface, or

do a local configuration using the Configurator interface.

• If the unit fails to connect to the internet, you must do a local

configuration using the Configurator interface.

NOTE

By default, the local IP address of the unit is set as

192.168.0.10, and the subnet mask is set as 255.255.255.0 (as

shown in the Current IP Configuration section).

In Provisioning Mode, the unit connects to the cloud server

through a WebSocket connection with 4 096-bit asymmetric

encryption and verified security certificates, protecting the

communication from cyber-security threats.

• Check that the unit is in Provisioning Mode by looking at the

colored icon to the right of the RACER™ tag in the upper left-

hand corner of the screen (Figure 13 (page 51)).
