ACCESSING YOUR GATEWAY
7.1
Logging on to Your Gateway
This section explains the logon procedures for your Gateway. These procedures should be used any time you want to
access or make changes to your Gateway’s configurations or firewall settings.
IMPORTANT:
Your Gateway is capable of automatically sensing protocol type (DHCP or PPPoE). This process is
designed to start after you have connected your Gateway to your network. To access your Gateway’s Web pages,
your PC must be configured for DHCP. Refer to your Windows help screen for information on configuring your
computer for DHCP. At your PC, click
Start
, then
Help
to access the Windows help screen.
Your ISP determines the type of protocol you will use to connect to the Internet. Routed IP allows you to connect to
your ISP equipment without first having to identify yourself (authenticate) with your ISP. PPPoE requires that you
authenticate (type an account ID and password) before obtaining an Internet connection. After automatic protocol
detection starts, the Gateway will determine which protocol you will use for your Internet connection.
To log on to your Gateway, start your Web browser, and type the following IP address in the browser’s address bar:
After you have typed the URL address, press
Enter
on your keyboard. If your Gateway has the Automatic PVC
Detection feature enabled (optional), you will see this screen while the Gateway detects and configures the WAN
connection.
The detection process will then begin as shown in the following screen.
Once the detection process is complete, you will see the following screen.

7.1.1
Connecting to the Internet via Routed IP Protocol
If Automatic WAN Protocol Detection finds that your ISP’s server is DHCP, the ISP’s DHCP server will send your
Gateway a WAN IP address. A WAN IP address indicates that you have established a connection with your ISP.
Routed IP allows you to connect to your ISP equipment without first having to identify yourself (authenticate) with
your ISP. Once your Gateway has obtained a WAN IP address, you do not need to configure any additional settings
Congratulations! You have completed the Gateway’s Automatic WAN Protocol Detection process. Now, go to
section 7.4, “Confirming Your Internet Connection,” to confirm your Internet connection.
NOTE:
If you want to modify your Routed IP settings, go to section 14.4.3, “VersaPort.” The Gateway’s factory
default protocol is Routed IP.
7.1.2
Connecting to the Internet via PPPoE Protocol

Internet connection. To connect to the Internet for the first time via PPP, go to one of the following sections:
•

connecting to the Internet using the Gateway’s built-in Installation Wizard. Use this method for simple,
less-detailed configuration process.
•
