2. WEB MANAGEMENT

This chapter describes how to manage the Residential Gateway through a Web browser.

The IP address concepts and gaining access to the Residential Gateway will be introduced

first, and then followed by web-based management instructions.

2.1 The Concept of IP address

IP addresses have the format n.n.n.n, for example 168.168.8.100.

IP addresses are made up of two parts:



The first part (168.168 in the example) refers as network address identifies the

network on which the device resides. Network addresses are assigned by three

allocation organizations. Depending on your location, each allocation organization

assigns a globally unique network number to each network that wishes to connect to

the Internet.



The second part (8.100 in the example) identifies the device within the network.

Assigning unique device numbers is your responsibility.

If you are unsure of the IP

addresses allocated to you, consult the allocation organization from which your IP

addresses were obtained.

Remember that no two devices on a network can have the same address.

If you connect to

the outside world, you must change all the arbitrary IP addresses to comply with those you

have been allocated by the allocation organization. If you do not do this, your outside

communications will not operate.

A subnet mask is a filtering system for IP addresses. It allows you to further subdivide your

network. You must use the proper subnet mask for proper operation of a network with

subnets defined.

2.2 Start Configuring

The Residential Gateway can be managed via a Web browser.

However, before doing so,

you must assign a unique IP address to the Residential Gateway. Use a RJ-45 LAN cable

and any of the four 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports of Residential Gateway as the temporary

RJ-45 Management console port to login to the Residential Gateway and set up the IP

address for the first time. (The default IP is

“192.168.0.1”

. You can change the Residential

Gateway

’

s IP to the needed one in the

WAN Settings

under

Network Configuration

menu.)

Follow these steps to manage the Residential Gateway through a Web browser:



Use one of the four 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports as the temporary RJ-45

Management console port to set up the assigned IP parameters of the Residential

Gateway.

2. Subnet Mask

3. Default gateway IP address, if required



Run a Web browser and specify the Residential Gateway

’

s IP address to reach it.

(The default IP of Residential Gateway is

“192.168.0.1”

before any changes.)



Login to the Residential Gateway to reach the Main Menu.

Once you gain the access, a Login window appears like the following:

Enter the authorized user name and password then click

“

Login

”

.

The default user name is

admin

and

without a password

(leave this field blank).

After a successful login, the following Residential Gateway Main Menu screen appears.

NOTE:

By default, the remote access to the Residential Gateway is disabled. If you would

like to login the Residential Gateway from WAN port or ports assigned in Bridge Mode, you

must enable

“

Remote Administration

”

option in

Administrator Account

under the

Management

Menu and then add IP address (if necessary) and specify Http port number

for remote login. Once completed, you can type in the specified IP address and Http port

number in URL field of your web browser like this

“

192.168.1.198:8888

”

to access to web

management.

Both 802.11n & 802.11b/g models have same software functions except that 802.11n

models provide users to use 802.11n wireless mode that can achieve higher speed rate. In

this user

’

s manual, we will use screenshots from 802.11n model consistently to explain

software functions. Differences in software functions between 802.11b/g and 802.11n

models will also be pointed out in this user

s manual.

2.3 Introduction to Sub-Menus

When you successfully login to the web management, you will be directed to the Main Menu.

On the right pane of the Main Menu, it shows system information including detailed

information about your device, fiber information, etc. On the left pane, there are several sub-

menus that enable you to configure the basic and advanced software functions. Below is the

brief description for each sub-menu. For detailed function explanations, please refer to the

individual section.

1. Information:

To display Residential Gateway

’

s system set-up information, including the

system information (e.g. location, firmware version, WAN, LAN status, etc.) and the line

status (e.g. view-only field that shows the SIP and FXS port status)

2. Network Management:

To configure Residential Gateway settings, including WAN and

LAN Settings, DHCP, NAT, DDNS, etc.

3. Switch Management:

To configure Residential Gateway Ethernet settings, including

Port Configuration, Bandwidth Control, VLAN and IGMP settings.

4. Switch Monitor:

To show the status of each Residential Gateway port.

5. SIP Management:

Settings.

6. VoIP Management:

To configure VoIP settings, including Voice, Phone Book, Call

server, FAX and FXS port settings, etc.

7. CATV Settings:

To enable or disable CATV module (Only available for the WLAN

Residential Gateway with RF module installed).

8. Management:
