IP Address Setup

Before you log into the CGN3’s GUI, your computer’s IP address must be in the same

subnet as the CGN3. This allows your computer to communicate with the CGN3.

NOTE:

See

IP Addresses and Subnets

on page

34

for background information.

The CGN3 has a built-in DHCP server that, when active, assigns IP addresses to

computers on the LAN. When the DHCP server is active, you can get an IP address

automatically. The DHCP server is active by default.

If your computer is configured to get an IP address automatically, or if you are not

sure, try to log in to the CGN3 (see

GUI Overview

on page

24

).



If the login screen displays, your computer is already configured correctly.



If the login screen does not display, either the CGN3’s DHCP server is not active

or your computer is not configured correctly. Follow the procedure in

Manual IP

Address Setup

on page

22

and set your computer to get an IP address

automatically. Try to log in again. If you cannot log in, follow the manual IP

address setup procedure again, and set a specific IP address as shown. Try to

log in again.

NOTE:

If you still cannot see the login screen, your CGN3’s IP settings may have

been changed from their defaults. If you do not know the CGN3’s new

address, you should return it to its factory defaults. See

Resetting the CGN3

on page

25

. Bear in mind that ALL user-configured settings are lost.

1.4.1

Manual IP Address Setup

By default, your CGN3’s local IP address is

192.168.0.1

. If your CGN3 is using the

default IP address, you should set your computer’s IP address to be between

192.168.0.2

and

192.168.0.254

.

NOTE:

If your CGN3 DHCP server is active, set your computer to get an IP address

automatically in step

5

. The CGN3 assigns an IP address to your computer.

The DHCP server is active by default.

Take the following steps to manually set up your computer’s IP address to connect to

the CGN3:
