Device Configuration

1. Overview

miro Edge gateway can be configured using the integrated web frontend. To access the web frontend an ethernet connection to the gateway has to be established. The ethernet port on the gateway is exposing a small subnet 192.168.100.100/28 and is internally assigned an IP address of 192.168.100.100.

2. Establish Ethernet Connection

To establish an ethernet connection to the gateway the following steps are necessary:

  1. Connect the gateway to your computer using a standard ethernet cable

  2. Change your computer’s network configuration to assign it an IP address within the 192.168.100.100/28 subnet (e.g. 192.168.100.101)

Login Page

Use the following login credentials

User name

root

Password

miro<mac address>

Replace the <mac address> part with the last 6 digits of the gateway MAC address. All characters should be in lower case and without the ':'. The MAC address can be found on the label on the back of the housing. E.g if your gateway’s mac address is 7D:B5:B8:55:F6:A5, your password would be miro55f6a5.

For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change the router’s default password under System→Administration
