Configuration

The TW-EA1000 can be configured with your Web browser.

The web browser is included as a

standard application in the following operation systems, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS, Windows

95/98/NT/2000/Me, etc. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for

configuration.

3.1 Before Configuration

This section describes the configuration required by LAN-attached PCs that communicate with

the TW-EA1000, either to configure the device, or for network access. These PCs must have an

Ethernet interface installed properly, be connected to the TW-EA1000 either directly or through

an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address

through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet of the TW-

EA1000. The default IP address of the TW-EA1000 is 192.168.0.254 and subnet mask is

255.255.255.0. The best and easy way is to configure the PC to get an IP address from the TW-

EA1000 Router. Also make sure you have UNINSTALLED any kind of software firewall that

can cause problems accessing the 192.168.0.254 IP address of the router.

Please follow the steps below for PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please

check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter

must be installed. If not, please refer to MS Windows related manuals.

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through the TW-

EA1000GE.
