Pressing the “Down” button at the “Power off?” screen will bring you to the LCD Brightness
screen. This screen will allow you adjust the brightness of the LCD backlight. The setting will
default at 50. Valid values are from 0 to 100. The setting is activated when you press the check
mark button.
Going back to this screen will bring the value back to the default of 50.
Factory Reset:
Pressing the “down” button or the check mark button from the “LCD Brightness” screen will
bring you to the factory reset option. You will see:
This option will clear all current settings and reset the WebMux to original factory settings. Press
and hold the check-mark button for at least 20 seconds to activate the factory reset. The
process will take a few minutes and the WebMux will reboot itself.
Fixing Configuration Mistakes
You can always make changes to the hardware settings by pressing the Check-Mark button for
three (3) seconds when the statistic screen showing. It will start the prompt questions that will allow
you to navigate from one prompt to another by using the up/down button on the left most LCD
position.
For example, if you configured the Allowed Hosts wrong and lock yourself out, you can go to the
push buttons and select “Clr Allowed Hosts” option, save changes and reboot, which will allow all
the IP address to access the management console through browser. You can clear the allowed
hosts but not reset the password, or change one option and not change the others.
Bond All Interfaces Setup
As of firmware version 8.5.04, when you specify a non-zero VLAN ID in NAT Mode or Transparent
Mode, you will be given an additional option to “Bond rtr/svr NI”. This feature allows you to use the
“Internet” and “Server” ports as a “single” bonded interface (also known as Port Channel or Link
Aggregation Group). When this option is enabled, the traditional “front” and “back” LAN of the
WebMux is no longer partitioned on the WebMux itself, rather, on the network SWITCH using
tagged and untagged VLAN ID settings.
Specific concepts need to be followed when setting up the WebMux with VLAN IDs. One is that the
ports on the switch connected to the WebMux MUST be configured to be using “tagged” VLAN
(802.1q). VLAN IDs configured on the WebMux for any mode (NAT, Transparent, or Out-of- Path)
is a “tagged” VLAN (802.1q) specification. For the rest of the network, there are two ways to
configure the switch and devices in order for them to be able to communicate with each other. One
way is to make all the devices in the local network use 802.1q VLAN tagging, since only devices
using 802.1q VLAN tagging will be able to communicate with each other. However, that option
depends on the actual network interface in the device and whether or not it supports 802.1q VLAN
tagging. The other option is to leave the network interface configuration on the other devices alone
and configure the switch to do the VLAN tagging. This will be the option that we will be using in our
example. All manageable switches with
