Advanced Configuration

After setting up the Gateway with the Setup Wizard (located on the CD-ROM), the Gateway will be ready for use. However, if you’d like to change its advanced settings, use the Gateway’s web-based utility. This chapter describes each web page of the utility and each page’s key functions. You can access the utility via a web browser on a computer connected to the Gateway.

The web-based utility has these main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.

NOTE: When first installing the Gateway, you should use the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD- ROM. If you want to configure advanced settings, use this chapter.

How to Access the Web-Based Utility

To access the web-based utility, launch the web browser on your computer, and enter the Gateway’s default IP address, 192.168.1.1, in the Address field. Then, press Enter.

A login screen appears. Use the default user name and password, admin, unless you have changed them during the Setup Wizard. (You can set a new user name and password from the Administration tab’s Management screen.) Click OK to continue.
