Chapter 3
The Web User Interface
The 6381 A4 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 Local Area Network (LAN) connection is where you plug in your local computers to the
router. The router is normally configured to automatically provide all the PCs on your network with
Internet addresses.
To set up your modem with a basic configuration, from the top navigation bar, select
Setup
.
Setup is divided into two subsections—LAN Setup and WAN 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 modem you will first need to log in to the modem.
