2 Connecting a PC to the router for configuration
2.1 Overview
Administration server address :
The administration html server is located at the LAN IP address of the router. The default factory address is192.168.0.128.
First setup :
For the first configuration, we advise to connect the PC directly to the LAN interface of the RAS-3G router.
Setup modifications from the LAN or remotely :
Modifications can be carried out
from the LAN interface,
or from the Internet using a port forwarding rule (not advised for security reasons),
or using a remote user connection PPTP, TLS, L2TP/IPSec,
or through a VPN.
Restoring the factory IP address :
The factory IP address of the router on the LAN interface can be restored by setting the DIP switches SW01 ON and SW02
OFF.
In that position of the DIP switches, the stored configuration is not deleted.
Setting the DIP switches in that position gives also a free access to the administration server from the LAN interface.
During operations, the DIP switches must not be left in that position.
Network IP address :
Later in the text, we often speak of “network address”.
We mean the lowest value of the addresses of the network.
For instance, if the netmask of a network is 255.255.255.0, the network address of that network is X.Y.Z.0.
Copy and paste :
Parameters must be entered with the keyboard; they cannot be pasted.
However, it can be useful to paste a string when it is long to avoid errors.
In that case, paste the string, delete the last character of the pasted string, and enter it again with the keyboard.
Saving and restoring the parameters file (see the maintenance chapter)
A parameters file can only be downloaded to a product having the same firmware version. It is why, we advise to assign a
name to a parameter file including the product name and the software version like for instance
“myrouterfile_ras3g1220_V241.bin”.
2.2 First configuration
Step 1 : Check the DIP switches
Coming from factory, the DIP switches SW1 and SW2 are set OFF to select the stored IP address.
Coming from factory, the stored IP address is the factory IP address 192.168.0.128.
Step 2 : Create or modify the PC IP connection.
Assign to the PC an IP @ in accordance with the RAS-3G IP address.
For the first configuration, assign or instance 192.168.0.127 to the PC.
Step 3 : Connect the PC directly to the LAN interface of the RAS-3G router using any Ethernet
cable (straight or cross wired).
Step 4 : Launch the navigator
Enter the LAN IP @ of the router 192.168.0.128.
