Chapter 3 Configuring the Wireless Gateway

The NB600W Wireless Gateway includes a pre-installed web-based conﬁguration tool, which provides an interface to manage and conﬁgure the device to meet the requirements of your network. You can access the Conﬁguration Manager through your web browser from any com- puter, which has a network connection with the NB600W Wireless Gateway.

Accessing the Configuration Manager

The Conﬁguration Manager is a number of pre-installed web-based pages in the NB600W Wireless Gateway. To access the Conﬁguration Manager you will need:

•A computer equipped with Ethernet or WLAN network adapter. The IP address of your computer needs to be setup in the same subnet as the NB600W. Just conﬁgure your PCs to accept the network information automatically. The NB600W will assign an IP for your PC when connecting. (If you don't know how to setup the IP conﬁguration, please refer to Chapter 2: Conﬁguring your PCs.)

•A web browser installed on the PC. The program is designed to work best with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0, Netscape Navigator version 4.7, or later versions.

You can access the program from any computer connected to the NB600W Wireless Gateway via the LAN or Wireless ports. To login to the Conﬁguration Manager:

1.) From any LAN computer, open your web browser and type the following URL in the web address (or location) box. Press <Enter>

2.) Type “admin” as the user name and leave the password blank if it is your ﬁrst time logging in. Click on OK to login to the Conﬁguration Manager.

Note: You can change the password at any time. For security reason, we recommend you change your password the first time you login.
