Introduction to Web Configuration

The first time you setup the Router. It is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single computer, to ensure that both the computer and the Router

are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN connection operates properly, you may continue to make changes to Router configuration, including IP settings and DHCP

setup. This chapter is concerned with using your computer to configure the WAN connection. The following chapter describes the various menus used to configure and

monitor the Router, including how to change IP settings and DHCP server setup.

Preparation Before Login

Before accessing the Modem, ensure the communication between PC and Modem is normal. Check the communication as follows.

°

Configure the IP address of the PC as 192.168.1.X (2~254), net mask as

255.255.255.0, gateway address as 192.168.1.1 (for customized version,

configure them according to the actual version).

°

Enter

arp -a

in the DOS window to check whether the PC can read the MAC

address of the Modem.

°

Ping the MAINTENANCE IP address (192.168.1.1 by default) of the

Modem.

If the PC can read the MAC address of the Modem and can ping through the

MAINTENANCE IP address of the Modem, that means the communication

of the PC and the Modem is normal.

Note: When you manage the Modem through Web, you must keep the Modem power on. Otherwise, the Modem may be damaged.
