TOPEX MobiLink
IP
Preliminary Manual
It does make sense to use manual settings for
network configurations incompatible with the default IP
settings
; you
must
use manual settings when the local network has some special requirements, which
the automatic configuration cannot satisfy, such as:
-
different range of non-routable addresses used, like 10.*.*.* or 172.16.*.*; In this case you must first
set you computer manually to the range of addresses that MobiLink IP can “see”, then configure
MobiLink for the requirements of your particular network, and finally revert to using DHCP in your
network, but with MobiLink IP now accessible.
-
several MobiLinkIP equipment used in the same LAN. More than two GSM modules may be
required, thus several VoIP-2-Mobile gateways must be connected in your LAN. In this case the
first unit can have the default address, but for the next ones you should assign consecutive
addresses, such as *.*.*.2, *.*.*.3, *.*.*.4 etc.
In case of manual settings, in “Internet Protocol
Properties” fill in the corresponding values:
-
the IP address could be from 192.168.173.2
up to 192.168.173.254
-
the Subnet mask could be the standard
255.255.255.0, or wider 255.255.0.0
- the Default gateway and “Preferred DNS
server” fields may be lefty empty!
In the status bar at the bottom of the screen the link
icon should be blinking, and a message will show
up: “MobiLinkIP is now connected”
Note:
When a Proxy Server is used for the local network, set an exception for the Topex
VoIP2Mobile, because access to the MobiLink will not be possible.
Connecting to MobiLink
Enter the IP address of the MobiLinkIP device (by default
192.168.173.1
) in the list of exceptions for
the Proxy server: “Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with …”
To configure the MobiLinkIP product using the web interface,
just open a favourite web browser and type the default IP
address as the URL:
https://192.168.173.1
If connecting to the MobiLinkIP equipment is not possible because of problems in the settings of the IP
address, go back to the factory default settings. Press the “RESET” button for at least three seconds.
The equipment reboots and starts operating with
the factory default settings
.
These include the IP address 192.168.173.1, allowing you to connect to the Topex VoIP2Mobile in
order to configure it. After reaching the configuration web pages, one may change the IP address of
the device according to personal requirements.
For instance, you can use addresses in the range
https://10.0.0.1
, as shown in
this example:
