Chapter 4 Configuring The DI-704

The DI-704 provides a Web based configuration scheme, that is, configuring by Netscape

Communicator or Internet Explorer. This approach can be adopted in any MS Windows,

Macintosh or UNIX based platform.

4.1 Start-up and Log in

Activate your browser, open settings, and

disable the proxy

or

add the IP address of the

DI-704 into the exceptions box

. Then, type the DI-704’s IP address [for example (default

setting):

]

in the

Location

(for Netscape) or

Address

(for IE) field and

press ENTER.

After the connection is established, you will see the web user interface of the DI-704. There

are two appearances of web user interface:

for general users

and

for system administrator

.

To log in as an administrator, enter the system password (the factory setting is ”

admin

”) in

button. If the password is correct, the web

appearance will be changed into administrator

configure mode. As listed in its main menu,

there are several options for system administration.

4.2 Status

“

Release

” button on the

Sidenote

column. You can click this button to renew or

release IP manually.

B.

Modem Status.
