Chapter 4: Initial Configuration
Accessing the Setup Wizard
The Gateway provides a Setup Wizard for initial configuration of the unit’s operating
mode (Bridge or Router as described in “Networking Concepts” on page 29) and
WAN IP address (when Router mode is selected).
For initial configuration, connect a PC directly to one of the LAN ports on the back of
the unit, and use a web browser (such as Internet Explorer 6.0 or above, or Mozilla
Firefox 2.0.0.0 or above) to connect to the Gateway.
The Gateway has a default IP address of 192.168.2.1 and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically” (that is, set
as a DHCP client), you can connect immediately to the web interface. Otherwise,
you must set your PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the Gateway (that is,
the PC and Gateway addresses must both start with 192.168.2.x).
To access the Setup Wizard, follow these steps:
1. Use your web browser to connect to the management interface using the default
IP address of 192.168.2.1.
2. Log into the Gateway’s management interface by entering the default user name
and password both as “admin,” and then click OK.
