System 

The System page is used for configuring and monitoring system level features of the MX-400 system.  

Settings 

This page provides a more comprehensive 
view into the system configuration of the 
MX-400SR. 

Network:  The network configuration is 
shown both here and on the front panel.  
Changes may be made on either UI.  Click 

on the gear 

 icon to configure any one 

of the four network ports.  

Server Certificate: Each datacasting server 
is uniquely identifiable and uses a 
certificate to sign all signaling data to 
prevent other services from masquarading 
as an MX-400SR datacasting server. i.e. 
Spoofing.  In most cases the certificate will be installed prior to shipment.  If no certificate is shown 
please contact West Pond technical support. 

FlexDM remote management:  West Pond’s 
remove management allows authorized 
personel to access the web UI of this, and 
other West Pond devices, via a cloud hosted 
web service.  If authorized, West Pond can also 
used this for support.  Communications for this 
feature utilize UDP port 1193 and TCP/IP port 
443 for communication.  All communications 
are between the device and the flexdm.net 
subnet.  If the MX-400SR has internet access 
and this feature is enabled, green check marks 
should exist on the Web UI next to Enabled, 

Registered, and Online.  If you wish to disable this feature, click on the gear 

 and select Enabled/No.  

The “Nonce” value is used during provisioning to identify this device and validate that it is in the hands 
of the owner.  For more information on creating a FlexDM remote management contact West Pond 
sales or technical support.  

Accounts 

There are three preconfigured accounts for managing the MX-400.  This page allows the administrator 
to set the passwords for these three accounts.  Use the User pulldown to select the user and then enter
