4: Getting Started

By this point, you should have completed the following:

Connected the router.

•

•

•

Verified that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on all computers in your network. (If you need to install

TCP/IP, refer to your system documentation or Windows Help.)

Configured the network settings on those computers.

You can now easily configure the SpeedStream router from the convenient Web-based management

interface. From your Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, versions 4.0 or

above), you will log in to the interface to define system parameters, change password settings, view status

windows to monitor network conditions, and control the router and its ports.

For information on navigating the Web interface, please see page 17,

Navigating the Web Interface

.

Logging On/Off the Web Interface

The first time you log on to the Web interface, you will be required to enter a system password in the

Administrative User Setup

window before you can access any other configuration windows. You may

also change the user name from the default setting of

admin

. After your initial log on, the

System

Summary

or

PPP

Login

[Choose Connection] window will display, depending on your connection.

Important!

If you are logging in on a UPnP-enabled system with UPnP enabled on the router, please

see page 16,

Logging In with UPnP

.

Accessing the Web Management Interface

To open the SpeedStream Web management interface, enter the default router IP address in your

Microsoft Internet Explorer

Address

bar or Netscape Navigator

Location

bar:

http://speedstream

Depending on whether this is your first or a subsequent login, one of the following windows will display:

•

If this is your first login, the

window displays.
