Section 7.4: External IP and External Name
The External IP and External Name fields can be used to specify additional data to
be included in an automatically generated certificate’s Subject Alternate Name
field. They are not used if you provide a certificate yourself, but if you are
allowing the mCore to generate its own certificate, you can use these fields to
ensure that the name by which you refer to the unit is considered valid by a web
browser. If, for example, you are accessing the mCore via a cell router that
exposes it to the Internet using an IP address, you should enter that address as
the External IP. If you use a name to refer to that IP address, either via your own
DNS infrastructure or perhaps a hosts file, you can include that name as the
External Name. The automatically generated certificate will already include the
unit’s name, the unit’s name followed by “.local”, and any static IP’s allocated to
Ethernet 1 or Ethernet 2. If the unit name is left at default, the serial number of
the unit will be used.
1. To change the External IP and/or External Name, click the Web Server button
in the left menu toward the top. The following screen will appear.
Enter or edit an External IP and/or External Name in their respective boxes.
