S TARTING THE W EB UI
This chapter provides information about accessing the Web user interface (Web UI) for the Alcatel
OmniAccess 601 router.
Overview
The WebView Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows web-based security and basic router configuration.
The traditional command line interface (CLI) is still available (as discussed in your router Installation
Guide).
To open the WebView web user interface, you must have:
 Version 8.2 or higher router software
 The router IP address
 The admin name and password
 The password
If you are configuring this router for the first time, you must assign the IP address and other basic
configuration values through the CLI as described in the Installation Guide.
NOTE: Before you try to connect to your router, make sure you can ping its IP address. If you
are not able to ping the router, you will not be able to connect to the Web UI.
1 Point your web browser at the router IP address by entering:
http://ipaddress of your route.r.
(In this release, the web browser must be Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher. Also, secure HTTP
(HTTPS) is not supported in this release.)
The Welcome screen appears as shown in Figure 1. Basic information about the Web UI is available
on the screen.
