the Local Area Connection status is "Connected". If the status
is "Disconnected", then make sure that your computer is
configured to obtain an IP address automatically. (The device
has an embedded DHCP server which allocates a DHCP pool of
IP addresses in the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet.)

2. Open a standard Web browser on your computer, and then in

the URL field, enter the device's default IP address of

192.168.2.1; the Login screen appears:

3. Enter the default, case-sensitive username (admin) and

password (admin), and then click Continue; the Quick Setup
page appears:

8 | Page

4. From the 'Connection Type' drop-down list, select the Internet

connection method. Consult with your Service Provider for the
required connection type (e.g., DHCP, PPPoE or PPTP).

5. Click OK; the Map View page appears, displaying all the

network elements (such as phones, faxes, router, and Internet)
that are connected to your device. (If there is no Internet

connection, the icon is displayed on the "WAN Ethernet"
line.)
