Network connection
The machine can be integrated into an internal network via an Ether-
net interface. Only the systems required for machine access via a
web interface and for the documentation of reprocessing results (e.g.,
a PC on which the documentation software is installed) may be oper-
ated on this network. A standard network cable – CAT5 Ethernet ca-
ble or higher – is required for the connection.
Miele Technical Service must connect the network cable to the in-
terface.
 Unauthorized access poses a health risk.
Settings in the machine, e.g., parameters for disinfection or dis-
pensing process chemicals, may be changed as a result of unau-
thorized access via the network.
Under no circumstances should it be possible to access the ma-
chine via the Internet or other public or unsecured networks, either
directly or indirectly (e.g., using port forwarding)!
The IP addresses from 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.255 are re-
served for Miele Technical Service. They must never be set in the
internal network.
1. The machine should be operated only in a separate network
segment which meets one of the following requirements:
– it is physically separated from other network segments
– access to the segment is restricted by a firewall or a router which
has been configured accordingly
2. Limit access to this separate network segment to persons re-
quiring access in the course of their work.
3. Use strong passwords to protect access to systems that are
connected to the machine.
4. Configure the Ethernet interface.
