Chapter 3
The Web User Interface
The 6219-X1 combination modem/router has a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection which
connects to your phone line. This connects to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) via the phone
line. The four Local Area Network (LAN) connections are where you plug in your local computers
to the router. The 6219-X1 also has a wireless interface. The router is normally configured to
automatically provide all the PCs on your network with Internet addresses.
To set up your router with a basic configuration, from the top navigation bar, select
Advanced
Setup
from the left hand navigation bar. Setup has two main subsections underneath
Advanced
Setup
WAN
and
LAN
. Setup instructions are covered in Chapter 4, Advanced Setup.
If you connected a PC (rather than a hub or a switch) directly to the router, your LAN consists of
that PC. You may also create connections for various protocol options by creating new connections.
To configure your router you will first need to log in to the router.
Note:
Before configuring your router, make sure you have followed the instructions in Chapter 2
Hardware Installation and PC Setup. You should have your PCs configured for DHCP mode (if
your router will be), and have proxies disabled on your browser. If you see a login redirection
screen when you access the web interface, verify that JavaScript support is enabled in your
browser. Also, if you do not get the screen shown below, you may need to delete your temporary
Internet files.
Log in to the Router
This section will explain how to log in to your router.
1.
Launch your web browser.
2.
Enter the URL
in the address bar and press Enter.
A login screen like the one below will be displayed after you connect to the user interface.
3.
Enter your user name and password, and then click on
OK
to display the user interface.
The user name / password are admin / admin and both are case sensitive.
Note:
There are two default user name and password combinations. The user / user name and
password combination can display device status, but cannot change or save configurations. The admin /
admin combination can perform all functions. Passwords can be changed at any time.
