Configuration Program
The Broadband Router contains an HTTP server. This enables you to connect to it,
and configure it, using your Web Browser. Your Browser must support JavaScript.
The configuration program has been tested on the following browsers:
•
Netscape V4.08 or later
•
Internet Explorer V4 or later
Preparation
Before attempting to configure the Broadband Router, please ensure that:
•
Your PC can establish a physical connection to the Broadband Router. The PC
and the Broadband Router must be directly connected (using the Hub ports on the
Broadband Router) or on the same LAN segment.
•
The Broadband Router must be installed and powered ON.
•
If the Broadband Router's default IP Address (192.168.0.1) is already used by
another device, the other device must be turned OFF until the Broadband Router
is allocated a new IP Address during configuration.
Using UPnP
If your Windows system supports UPnP, an icon for the Broadband Router will appear
in the system tray, notifying you that a new network device has been found, and offer-
ing to create a new desktop shortcut to the newly-discovered device.
•
Unless you intend to change the IP Address of the Broadband Router, you can
accept the desktop shortcut.
•
Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can always find UPnP de-
vices in My Network Places (previously called Network Neighborhood).
•
Double - click the icon for the Broadband Router (either on the Desktop, or in My
Network Places) to start the configuration. Refer to the following section Setup
Wizard for details of the initial configuration process.
Using your Web Browser
To establish a connection from your PC to the Broadband Router:
1. After installing the Broadband Router in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is
already running, restart it.
2. Start your WEB browser.
3. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of the Broadband Router,
as in this example, which uses the Broadband Router's default IP Address:
