INITIAL CONFIGURATION

The Wireless Broadband Router offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for the configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or above).

ISP SETTINGS

If you are not sure of your connection method, please contact your Internet Service Provider. There are several connection types to choose from: Static IP, DHCP (cable connection), PPPoE (DSL connection), and PPTP.

NOTE: If using the PPPoE option, you will need to remove or disable any

PPPoE client software on your computers.

CONNECTING TO THE LOGIN PAGE

It is recommended to make initial configuration changes by connecting a PC directly to one of the Wireless Broadband Router’s LAN ports. The Wireless Broadband Router has a default IP address of 192.168.2.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You must set your PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the Gateway Router (that is, the PC and Gateway Router addresses must both start 192.168.2.x).

To access the Wireless Broadband Router’s management interface, follow these steps:

1.Use your web browser to connect to the management interface using the default IP address of 192.168.2.1.

2.Log into the interface by entering the default username “admin” and password “smcadmin,” then click Login.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended to change the default user name and password the first time you access the web interface. For information on changing user names and passwords, See “System Management” on page 100.
