Browser Security Warning
When you attempt to load the Setup Menu on a
browser, you will likely see some version of a
Warning that you are about to experience a Potential
Security Risk or some computer attack. Do not
worry about this scary warning generated from your
browser. It is a result of the MX123 using the more
secure HTTPS connection and the browser is not
recognizing the local certicate. The connection is
actually more secure than past software interfaces
by using this secure connection. To use this more
secure connection, you must rst proceed using
your browser’s Advanced setting options. Choose
the advanced option or “continue anyway” option
to proceed to the Setup Menu page against all your
browser’s warnings. The advanced options will be
slightly dierent depending on your browser, but all
of them will allow the choice to continue the Setup
Menu page. After initially bypassing this screen,
your browser should open this page in the future
without hesitation.
