Server IP and Port
The server IP and port options for MCS are shown in the image below.
Upon installation, MCS will automatically detect and list both private and public IP addresses available on the server in the "IP Address" drop-down menu. By default, MCS selects an IP address automatically. If you need to choose a different IP address, simply select it from the drop-down menu.
The next setting is the HTTP port. HTTP access is required for MCS even when HTTPS is enabled. This section of the user guide explains the reasons and provides a tutorial for enabling HTTPS for MCS. The HTTPS port input field will be greyed out if MCS does not detect an HTTPS certificate.
The external IP address setting is primarily used for Quality AP access. Its secondary purpose is to set the MCS host when downloading Network Connection Satellites (NCSs). To clarify, the satellite needs to communicate with MCS, and this is the address it will use.
Please note that any changes to the settings will not be saved until you click the "Save" button located at the bottom of the page.
