Earlier versions of <5.5 you could simply telnet into it via the MFIM IP, but this was a security issue, so its been restricted to serial only on 5.5+ system software.

The systems default IP address is 10.10.10.2 / 255.255.255.0 so your Ethernet card should be set to 10.10.10.254 to ensure correct connectivity.

The default username is “admin” with a password of “1234”
