3 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

USING THE WEB INTERFACE

The router provides a web-based management interface for configuring

device features and viewing statistics to monitor network activity. This

interface can be accessed by any computer on the network using a

standard web browser (such as Internet Explorer 5.0, Netscape 6.2, Mozilla

Firefox 2.0, or above).

To make an initial connection to the management interface, connect a PC

to one of the router’s LAN ports. Set your PC with a static address within

the same subnet as that used by the router (that is, 192.168.2.x with the

subnet mask 255.255.255.0).

To access the configuration menu, follow these steps:

1. Use your web browser to connect to the management interface using

the default IP address of 192.168.2.1.

It is strongly recommended to change the default password the first

time you access the web interface. For information on changing the

password, see “Password Setup” on page 106.
