Access the Web-based Manager

The Manager PC can now use a web browser to communicate with the Router.

Note:

 Be sure that the Manager PC is not configured to use a proxy server in the Internet settings. In

Windows Internet Explorer, you can check if a proxy server is enabled using the following procedure:

1.

In Windows, click on the START button, go to Settings and choose Control Panel.

2.

In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Internet Options icon.

3.

Click the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button.

4.

Verify that the “Use proxy server” option is NOT checked. If it is checked, click in the checked box to

deselect the option and click OK.

To use the web-based management software, launch a suitable web browser and direct it to the IP address of the

Router. Type in 

http://

 followed by the default IP address, 

192.168.0.1 

in the address

bar of the browser. The

URL in the address bar should read: 

http://192.168.0.1

.

In the page that opens, click on the 

Login to web-based management module 

button in the center.

A new window will appear and you will be prompted for a user name and password to access the web-based

manager. Use the default user name 

admin

 and password 

admin

 for first time set up. You should change the

web-based manager access user name and password once you have verified that a connection can be established.

The user name and password allows any PC within the same subnet as the Router to access the web-based

manger.

NOTE: 

Do not confuse the user name and password used to access the web-based

manager with the ADSL account user name and password needed for PPP connections

to access the ADSL or network service provider’s network.
