This chapter contains information which will assist you with accessing a VMMs local web interface 
and using the available configuration options. 

The VMM provides network access to one or more IP devices connected to the Ethernet port of the 
VMM. In order for the VMM to provide service to the IP devices, some configuration must be done 
prior to connecting the IP devices. 

The local default gateway address is used only on the wired interface, and is only visible to the 
attached IP devices.  It is not advertised to the wireless network, and the network cannot access the 
VMM using this gateway address. The VMM has another IP address for the wireless interface that can 
be used to access the VMM from the network. Because the gateway address is limited to the local 
wired interface, the same address could be used for the gateway service in several VMM devices. The 
local gateway should be a part of the overall subnet chosen for your wireless network.   

Care must be taken to ensure that the selected IP address is on the same subnet and does not conflict 
with any other devices or the chosen Local Gateway service address on the wireless network.  

In order for the VMM to provide service to other devices attached to its Ethernet port, some 
configuration must be done from MeshManager or the device’s internal web interface.  

For additional information about device provisioning options available in the device’s web interface 
see the 

  in this manual.  

This section will concentrate on performing external device provisioning for the VMM from within 
MeshManager’s Device Manager application.
