LED indicators
A LED test is exercised at power-up, cycling each LED off, green and
then red for approximately 0.25 seconds. At the same time the power-
on self test of the device is performed.
The following table outlines the indicator condition and the
corresponding status after the power-on self test has been completed:

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Maintenance
The MBRG-300 does not require maintenance, nor does it contain any
user-serviceable parts. If the MBRG-300 requires service, contact us
directly for assistance.
Refer to the technical support contacts provided at the end of this
document.
Do not open the MBRG-300 enclosure; this will void the product
warranty.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
• This equipment must be installed and serviced only by
qualified personnel.
• Qualified persons performing diagnostics or
troubleshooting that require electrical conductors to be
energized must comply with and follow safe electrical work
practices.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in death
or serious injury!
The status web pages served by the MBRG-300, display diagnostic
data that may be helpful in troubleshooting communication problems.
In addition the About page contains information about your specific
MBRG-300, including the serial number and media access control
(MAC) address. Some of these pages show a Clear Counter
button. Clicking this button clears all cumulative readings shown on this
particular page. If power to the MBRG-300 is lost, all values reset to
zero.
IP setup using a terminal program like HyperTerminal
Please consult the MBRG-300 User manual for further details on this
method.
Configuring and commissioning
The configuration pages are accessed using the integrated web server:
Gateway IP address
Main menu
Configuration sub-menu
Information area
Please consult the MBRG-300 User Manual for further details how to
set-up the MBRG-300.
Ethernet & IP configuration
Before configuring the MBRG-300, obtain a unique static IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway address from your network
administrator.
Use a web browser or a terminal program like HyperTerminal to
configure the MBRG-300’s TCP/IP settings with this information.
The factory default IP address of the MBRG-300 is 169.254.0.10 which
is in the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address range.
In order to connect to the MBRG-300 via TCP/IP, your PC must be on
same IP subnet as the gateway.
IP setup using a web browser
1. Disconnect your PC from your corporate network. If your computer
is configured for DHCP it should now automatically fall back to use
a default IP address from the APIPA range 169.254.x.x (Windows
PCs only). If your computer is configured with a static IP address or
does not support APIPA, it must be changed manually to be part of
the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet, for example to 169.254.0.1.
2. Connect an Ethernet crossover cable from the MBRG-300 to the
computer.
3. Start Internet Explorer.
4. In the address box, type 169.254.0.10 and then press Enter.
5. Click Configuration… and then Ethernet & IP in the menu
on the left side of the page.
6. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address assigned
to your MBRG-300, then click Save.
7. Reconnect your computer to your corporate network. If you
assigned a static IP address to your computer in step 1, you must
restore your computer’s original settings before reconnecting to
your network.
