Connector Description 

8 Keyboard 

Connector  Optionally, connect a keyboard here. 

9  Power Cord Connector 

Plug the enclosed power cord here.  

Once the desired connections have been made, determine that network traffic is flowing 
through the Ally IP1000 while it is powered off. Adjust the cabling configuration, if 
necessary, until network communication is restored. Then apply power to the Ally 

IP1000. 
 

Management 
The Ally IP1000 is managed through a graphical user interface (GUI), called the Ally 

Management Console. The GUI provides a convenient, secure portal for remotely managing 
the configuration settings or for viewing the Ally IP1000’s event log, blacklists, and statistics 

counters. The Ally Management Console can be accessed through the Management Adapter 
from a remote web browser or from a locally attached monitor, keyboard, and mouse. (A 
command line interface is also available. This interface provides access to most, but not all, 

of the features provided by the Ally Management Console.) 
 

Connecting to the Ally Management Console from Another System on the Administrative (or 
out-of-band) Network: 

1)

Temporarily change the IP address and subnet mask of another system on your out-
of-band management network to 10.x.x.x, 255.0.0.0  (Do not use 10.1.2.3) 

2)

Key in 

https://10.1.2.3

 into the URL address field of the web browser on the system 

used in step 1. This address references the Ally IP1000 Management Adapter’s 
default IP address preset by Arxceo, prior to shipment. 

3)

Login as Username:  administrator  
             Password:  arxceo 

4)

The first time the Ally Management Console is accessed, you will be required to 
accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). If you do not accept the terms of 

the EULA, the product will pass network traffic without providing protection. 

5)

Select the “Login Account Management” page on the Ally Management Console. Use 

the “Change Password” command to change the administrator account password.  

6)

Select the Ally Management Console “Network Adapter Configuration” page. Set the 
Management Adapter IP address, subnet mask, and other IP configuration 

information as appropriate for your out-of-band administrative network, or enable 
automatic configuration through DHCP if desired. Select “Apply”. This will cause the 

web browser system to lose access to the Ally IP1000 if you have changed the IP 
address to match your out-of-band address scheme. 

7)

Reset the IP address and subnet mask of the system used in Step 1 back to the 
original address. All systems, including the Ally IP1000, should now be assigned 

appropriate IP addresses used by your organization.  

8)

Now you can use the system from Step 1 to reconnect to 

https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

, 

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the new address of the Ally IP1000. 

 
Accessing the Ally Management Console from a Local Console: 

1)

Attach a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the Ally IP1000  

2)

Login as Username:  administrator 

             Password:  arxceo 

3)

At the command prompt, enter “AllyMC” to run the Ally Management Console. 

4)

Login as Username:  administrator  
             Password:  arxceo 

5)

The first time the Ally Management Console is accessed, you will be required to 

accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). If you do not accept the terms of 
the EULA, the product will pass network traffic without providing protection.
