Establishing a Connection
To start the configuration, communication must be established with the router. The
system can be accessed in the following ways:
• Ethernet connection - via an Ethernet port on the rear of the router.
• Serial - local via the MGMT Console serial port on the rear of the router.
Another consideration in configuring your unit is the type of user interface; there are
two user interfaces available on the router:
• Web Management Interface - the Web Management Interface (WMI) is an
HTML-based interface that provides easy to use graphical screens for simple
configuration of your router. The WMI is not available over the serial port.
• Command-line interface - provides a way to perform custom configurations
utilizing the full command set of the system by typing parameters at a
command prompt. The command line interface is available through the serial
port using terminal emulation software, or remotely through a network node
that can reach the unit using the LAN or WAN IP address using TELNET.
Connecting through the Web Management Interface
Step 1 Using your web browser, enter the following default router address into the address
field of your browser:
http://192.168.254.254/
Step 2 At the login prompt, make the following entries:
User Name: superuser
Password: admin
Step 3 After you have logged into your, you will be prompted to change the default
password. Enter the new password information as required.
Step 4 When prompted, log-in again with the new user account information.
