Chapter

The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy device setup and management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions, Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions, or Safari 2.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.

In order to use the web configurator you need to allow:

•Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.

•JavaScript (enabled by default).

•Java permissions (enabled by default).

2.1.1Accessing the Web Configurator

1Make sure your Router hardware is properly connected.

2Launch your web browser.

ype3 T"https://192.168.1.1:8000" as the URL.

4A password screen displays. Type “admin” as the default Username and the first 6 digits of the Router’s MAC address as the default password to access the device’s Web Configurator. Click Login. If you have changed the password, enter your password and click Login.

asswordFigure 4 PScreen

For security reasons, the Router automatically logs you out if you do not use the web configurator for five minutes (default). If this happens, log in again.

Annex M	Select this if your ISP supports it.
General
Active	Select this to have the Router use the Ethernet connection.
Node Name	Specify the name for this WAN interface.
Mode	Select Router (default) if your ISP gives you one IP address only and you want multiple
	computers to share an Internet account. Select Bridge when your ISP provides you more than
	one IP address and you want the connected computers to get individual IP address from the
	ISP’s DHCP server directly. If you select Bridge, you cannot use Firewall, DHCP server and NAT
	on the Router.
Encapsulation	Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP. Choices vary depending on the mode
	you select in the Mode field.
	If you select Router in the Mode field, select ENET ENCAP, IPoA, PPPoE, or PPPoA.

	For LLC-based multiplexing or PPP encapsulation, one VC carries multiple protocols with
	protocol identifying information being contained in each packet header. In this case, only one
	set of VPI and VCI numbers need be specified for all protocols.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual	Select IPv4 if you want the Router to run IPv4 only.
