MGate 5105-MB-EIP Series User Manual
Configuration Methods
MGate 5105-MB-EIP provides three ways to configure an MGate.
1. MGate Manager (Windows utility)
Use MGate Manager to configure the MGate through Ethernet, or check the MGate status. Refer to
Chapter 3 for details.
2. Web console
Use the web console to configure the MGate, or verify the MGate’s status, by Ethernet. Use a web
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Google Chrome to connect to the MGate, using
HTTP/HTTPS protocol. Here, the MGate IP address must be configured correctly. Refer to Chapter 4 for
details.
3. Serial console
Use the serial console to configure the MGate, or verify the MGate’s status, through an RS-232 null
modem (crossover) cable. Use a serial terminal emulation tool such as Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator
or PuTTY to log in to the MGate serial console. Note that the serial console doesn’t provide the interface
for all parameters. Some parameters must be configured through MGate Manager or the web console.
You must use a DB9-to-RJ45 cable to connect the serial console port on the MGate gateway’s front
panel to the serial port on the host. The serial console parameters are 115.2 kbps; parity: none; 8 data
bits; and one stop bit.
