Web-based Management

The DSL-302T offers a web-based (HTML) graphical user interface allowing users to manage the Modem from anywhere on the LAN using a standard browser. A web browser is used to communicate directly with the Modem and make changes to the configuration or monitor status.

Accessing the Web Manager

In order to use the web-based management software it will be necessary to use a computer that occupies the same subnet as the Modem. The simplest way to do this for many users will be to use DHCP server that is enabled by default on the Modem. You may also specify IP settings for your computer. The Modem has a default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Once you have accessed the configuration software you can configure the Modem’s IP settings and DHCP server configuration to suit your preferences.

To use the web-based management software run the browser you have installed on your computer and direct it to the Modem’s HTML interface using its LAN IP address. If this is the first time you are accessing the web-based manager you must type its default IP address, 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of the browser. The URL in the address bar should read: http://192.168.1.1. If you change the IP address you will use the new IP address to access the web-based manager.

A new window will appear and you will be prompted for a user name and password. Use default user name admin and password admin for first time set up.

Note: Be sure that the web browser on your computer is not configured to use a proxy server in the Internet settings. In Windows Internet Explorer, you can check if a proxy server is enabled using the following procedure:

1.In Windows, click on the Start button, go to Settings and choose Control Panel.

2.In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Internet Options icon.

3.Click the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button.

4.Verify that the “Use proxy server” option is NOT checked. If it is checked, click in the checked box to deselect the option and click OK.

Alternatively you can access this same menu using the Tools pull down menu in Internet Explorer.

If this is the first time you are accessing the configuration manager and you simply want to establish a connection to the Internet, you may want to read the section titled Configure the Modem in the previous chapter.
