Configuring the CMM for remote access

Use this information to understand how remote access is configured for the CMM.

After you connect the primary CMM to the network, the remote management and console (Ethernet) port connection, which is used for remote access, is automatically configured in either of the following ways:

• If there is an accessible, active, and configured DHCP server on the network, the host name, IP address, gateway address, subnet mask, and Dynamic Name Server (DNS) server IP address are set automatically.
• If the DHCP server does not respond within 3 minutes after the port is connected to the network, the CMM uses the manufacturing default URL (IPv4 static IP address) and default subnet address. The CMM is inaccessible during this time.

To connect to the CMM via the remote management and console (Ethernet) port by using a web browser or Telnet, use the following information:

• If the IP address was assigned through a DHCP server, get the IP address from your network administrator. If the IP configuration was assigned by the DHCP server, the network administrator can use the MAC address of the CMM network interface to determine which IP address and host name are assigned.
• The manufacturing default URL (IPv4 static IP address) is 192.168.70.100, the default subnet address is 255.255.255.0, and the default host name is MMxxxxxxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxxx is the burned-in media access control (MAC) address.
