Allowed Remote Host IPs
The WebMux Web Management Administrative Console only allow logins from these IP
addresses to establish a management session. You can allow access from more than one
IP address by specifying all the allowed IP addresses separated by a
“:” (except use “,” as
the separator for IPv6 addresses). You can put the netmask following the IP address to
specify the range of hosts that can access the management console. For example,
192.168.12.0/24 will allow all hosts in 192.168.12 network to access it. O
mitting the “zero”
octet is allowed. For example, 192.168.12 will be allowed for Class C allowed host. If this
field is left blank, you can access the Web Management Administrative Console from any IP
address that is configured. It is recommended to set this up for security reasons. If the
wrong IP addresses are entered, the Web Management Administrative Console login might
not be possible.
Use the setup mode on the LCD panel to clear the allowed host list. This field is blank by
default.
Server Configuration
The WebMux
allows you to control the user/passwords for the “superuser” group logins with
a server so that password changes can be administered to several WebMux
machines instantly through a central authentication server. In this field you will need to
specify the server IP with “server=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.” Other arguments include
“secret=” (if the server requires a password to be accessed) and “encrypt.” Each
argument must be separated with a space.
If for some reason the server is not working, the WebMux will default back to the
passwords configured in its password setup screen.
