Configure Your Station Using the Local Admin Interface

Your MobileConnect Stations can be configured using a local admin interface. The preferred way to configure a Station is using the Manager (for more information see Configure Your System Using the Manager). Here are some examples when the local admin interface can be used:

  • You want to configure your Station’s network interfaces, before connecting the Station to the Manager.

  • Your Station is not connecting to the Manager and you want to download its logs.

  • You want to authorize a Station (affects Station firmware 6.1.0 and higher (for more information see Authorize a Station).

The steps how to connect to the local admin interface are given below:

  • Configure your PC with the static IP address 192.168.0.2, netmask: 255.255.255.0.

  • Connect the Station’s LAN1 or Ctrl port directly to your PC.

  • Open a browser and navigate to http://192.168.0.10 to open the local admin interface.

Installing a Custom SSL Certificate

If you want to use your own certificate you can replace the preinstalled self-signed certificate that the MobileConnect Manager uses.

Note

Make sure your certificate matches the host name of the redirect URL entered during the MobileConnect Manager creation at https://accounts.sennheiserconnect.com.

  • Enter the traefik subfolder in your MobileConnect Manager installation directory.

cd /home/$USER/mcmanager/traefik

  • Replace certificate.cert with your certificate and privatekey.key with your private key (both files must be in PEM format).

  • The changes will take affect after restarting the gateway service, using the command below.

docker restart mcm_gateway
