M!DGE3 can be easily managed from your computer using a web browser. If there is an IP connection
between the computer and the respective M!DGE3, you can simply enter the IP address of any M!DGE3
in the network directly in the browser address line and log in. However, it is not recommended to
manage an over-the-air connected M!DGE3 in this way, because high amounts of data would have to
be transferred over the Radio channel, resulting in quite long response times.
When you need to manage an over-the-air connected M!DGE3, log-in to a M!DGE3, which your computer
is connected to using either a cable (via LAN) or a high-speed WAN (e.g. Internet). The M!DGE3 which
you are logged-in to in this way is called Local. Then you can manage any remote M!DGE3 in the
network over-the-air in a throughput-saving way: all the static data (e.g. Web page graphic objects) is
downloaded from the Local M!DGE3 and only information specific to the remote unit is transferred over
the Radio channel. M!DGE3 connected in such a way is called Remote.
When in Router mode, the IP address of either the Radio or Ethernet interface in the remote unit can
be used for such a Remote management. IP routing between the source (Local M!DGE3) and the
destination IP (Remote M!DGE3) needs to be configured properly.
When in Bridge mode, IP address of the Network interface the Radio interface is bridged with is used
for Remote access. When accessing the unit locally the IP address belonging to an Ethernet port, the
management PC is connected to, is used. Be careful, each M!DGE3 MUST have its unique IP address
and all these IP addresses have to be within the same IP network (defined by the IP Mask) when Remote
management is required in Bridge mode.
For the sake of security only HTTPS protocol is used for the connection between the web browser and
M!DGE3 unit. If the http://... is used into the web browser address line, the communication is immediately
automatically redirected to https protocol.
For better protection against unauthorized access to the network there is a timer build within the M!DGE3
unit and the web interface (set to 24 hours by default), which is monitoring user activity. In case of user
inactivity, the connection between the web interface and the unit will be interrupted (i.e automatic
logout). Timer is automatically launched in parraller both in the unit and in the web browser. In case of
changing the timer setting, we recommend to relog (logout, login), so the correct initialization of timeout
inactivity can occur.
