Chapter 4: Configuring the CheetahAccess™ Wireless Gateway

After you have configured TCP/IP on a client computer, you can use a Web browser to configure the CheetahAccess™ Wireless Gateway. The CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway can be configured by any Java-supported browser including Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above. Using the Web management interface, you can configure the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway and view statistics to monitor network activity.

To access the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway’s management interface, enter the IP address of the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway in your Web browser’s “Address” field (http://192.168.2.1). The CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway login screen will appear. Leave the Password field blank and click on “login.” (There is no password by default.) The home page displays the Main Menu on the left-hand side of the screen and descriptive information on the right-hand side. The Main Menu links are used to navigate to other menus that display configuration parameters and statistics.

Navigating the Web Browser Interface

The CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway’s management interface includes four key menus – Status, Help, Tools, and Setup. The Status and Help menus provide general information on the current settings and how to configure the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway. The Setup menu is used to configure the LAN, WAN and wireless interface, as well as other advanced functions. The Tools menu is used to reset the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway, restore the factory settings, or upgrade firmware.
