Basic Configuration of the Modem
This chapter describes how to perform the basic configuration of your Model DM602 ADSL
Modem for your Internet connection.
Accessing the Web Configuration Manager in the Modem
In order to use the browser-based Web Configuration Manager built into the modem, your
computer must have a web browser program installed such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator. Because the Configuration Manager uses Java, your Web browser must be
Java-enabled and support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet
Explorer 4.0 or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above. Free browser programs are readily available for
Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX/Linux.
To configure the modem for Internet access using your browser:
1. Turn on the modem and wait at least ten seconds for initialization to complete.
If you normally use a login program such as Enternet or WinPOET to access the Internet, do
not launch that program.
2. Configure your computer with the static IP address of 192.168.0.2, and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. If you need assistance with this, please refer to “Preparing Your Computer for
TCP/IP Networking“ on page 3-1.
3. Launch your web browser, and click your browser’s Stop button.In the Address or Location
box of your browser, type http://192.168.0.1 and press ENTER.
A login window opens as shown in Figure 4-1 below.
