GATEWAY CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes all the options available through the
Gateway configuration pages, and is provided as a reference.

Navigating Through the Gateway Configuration

Pages

To get to the configuration pages, browse to the Gateway by
entering the URL in the location bar of your browser. The default
URL is http://192.168.1.1. If you changed the Gateway
LAN IP address during initial configuration, use the new IP
address instead. When you have browsed to the Gateway, log in
using your system password. The default password is ‘admin’.

Main Menu

At the left side of all screens is a main menu, as shown in
Figure 26. When you click on a topic from the main menu, that
page will appear in the main part of the screen.
