IP KVM MGMT
By default, for LAN, the device will query an IP address via DHCP dynamically from your network.
By default, for Wi-Fi, the device starts an Access Point (AP) so that smartphones, tablets or laptops can
connect to the AP and access the web interface.
In case Wi-Fi access is not possible and no DHCP server exists, a temporary IP address can be assigned
by using a USB keyboard and pressing ‘Shift+S’. The LAN IP interface is temporarily set to 192.168.0.1.
If this is already taken, another address in the range from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.10 will be used. You
can check the assigned IP address on a connected monitor.
2.2. Network Measurement Installation (Data Plane)
The Allegro x300 analyzes all traffic transmitted through one of the network interfaces of the built-in
measurement cards. The Allegro Network Multimeter can be ordered with up to 3 network cards with
2 or 4 ports each. The appliance can be used in the following configurations:
2.2.1. Bridge Mode
Each 2 adjacent ports of a network card form a Layer 2 bridge, which forwards all incoming data traffic
to the corresponding interface.
WARNING: Bridge mode is a software-only TAP and will not work in case of a device error or power
down.
2.2.2. Sink Mode
Received packets will be processed, but not forwarded. Connect the Allegro Network Multimeter to a
hardware TAP by connecting both TAP interfaces to the device. Alternatively, a switch or router mirror
port can be connected to any of the device network interfaces.
Default configuration is bridge mode, thus running as an inline device. The link mode can be configured
via a web interface (menu ‘Settings →Global settings’):
2.3 Install your own HDDs or U.2 NVMe SSDs
The Allegro x300 can be used with up to 10 2.5" SATA HDDs. These must be mounted in the built-in
frame.
The 2 drive bays on the right side support
2 U.2 NVMe SSDs.
3. Device Start
1. Press the power button at the front of the device. The device will boot within two minutes.
2. LAN access: The device gets its IP address from the DHCP server in your network. Check the
console output on an attached monitor or ask the server administrator for the IP address of the
device, then enter the IP address into the URL bar of your web browser.
3. Wi-Fi access:
• SSID: allegro-mm-xxxx (individual per device)
• WPA2 password: Allegro-MM
• Enter https://allegro/ or https://192.168.4.1/ into the URL bar of your web browser.
4. Web interface authentication:
• Username: admin

4. Management Interface Configuration

ment interface settings’. The available options are described in the online manual which can be accessed
via the web interface.

tion’. All settings including the network configuration will be reset to factory default.
