Chapter 3

The Web User Interface

The 65xx-A1 family of combination modem/routers have a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection

which connects to your phone line. This connects to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) via the

phone line. The Local Area Network (LAN) connections are where you plug in your local

computers to the router. The 6518-A1 also has a wireless interface. The router is normally

configured to automatically provide all the PCs on your network with Internet addresses.

Your router may be pre-configured with your ISP configuration to ease your installation.

Please

contact your ISP if you need information on how to connect the modem to your ISP.

To set up

your router with a basic configuration required by your service provider, you can use the Quick

Setup form the top of the navigation bar.

In order for this to work, all other WAN services must

first be removed. To remove services, from the top navigation bar select

Quick

Setup

.

If you connected a PC (rather than a hub or a switch) directly to the router, your LAN consists of that PC. You

may also create connections for various protocol options by creating new connections.

To configure your router you will first need to log in to the router.

Note:

Before configuring your router, make sure you have followed the instructions in

Chapter 2

Hardware Installation and PC Setup

. You should have your PCs configured for DHCP mode (if

your router will be), and have proxies disabled on your browser. If you see a login redirection

screen when you access the web interface, verify that JavaScript support is enabled in your

browser. Also, if you do not get the screen shown below, you may need to delete your temporary

Internet files.

Log in to the Router

This section will explain how to log in to your router.

1.

Launch your web browser.

2.

Enter the URL

in the address bar and press Enter.

A login screen like the one below will be displayed after you connect to the user interface.

and both are case sensitive.

: For security reasons you should change your password as soon as possible.

Note:

There are three default user name and password combinations; Admin, Support, and User. The

user / user name and password combination can display device status, but cannot change or save

configurations. The admin / admin combination can perform all functions. Passwords can be changed at

any time.

For information about password administration, see

Passwords

on page 130.
