Configuring the Router
The AR750S-DP comes with a simple default configuration ( “AR750S-DP
Default Configuration” on page 20 ).
To further configure the router you can either:
■ “Configure with the Graphical User Interface (GUI)” on page 15 , or
■ “Configure with the Command Line Interface (CLI)” on page 18
Configure with the Graphical User Interface (GUI)
This section describes how to access the AR750S-DP GUI via a switch port in
VLAN1, when the PC and the router are in the same subnet, in order to
configure the router. The router’s switch ports all belong to VLAN1 by default.
We recommend starting to configure the AR750S-DP using the GUI. You can
then use the CLI if necessary to complete your configuration (
“Configure with
the Command Line Interface (CLI)” on page 18 ).
The GUI requires a PC and web browser. Supported browsers are Internet
Explorer 5.0 or later and Netscape 6.2.2 or later, with JavaScript enabled. If you
are using a toolbar or plug-in on your browser to block pop-ups, disable it while
using the GUI. The GUI displays detailed configuration options and information
in pop-up windows.
Caution If another device on your network already uses the router’s default IP
address, 192.168.1.1, do not connect the router to the network until you have
changed the management port’s address using the CLI.
1. Connect the PC to a router switch port.
The PC can be connected directly, or through your LAN.
• To connect the PC directly to the router, use a straight-through Ethernet
cable to connect an Ethernet card on the PC to any one of the router’s
switch ports.
