Using the GUI to configure the AR415S

This section describes how to access the GUI via a switch port in VLAN1 on the AR415S router, when the PC and the router are in the same subnet, in order to configure the router. The router’s switch ports all belong to VLAN1 by default.

The GUI requires a PC and web browser. Supported browsers are Internet Explorer

5.0or later and Netscape 6.2.2 or later, with JavaScript enabled. If you are using a toolbar or plug-in on your browser to block pop-ups, disable it while using the GUI. The GUI displays detailed configuration options and information in pop-up windows.

1.Connect the PC to a router switch port.

The PC can be connected either directly or through your LAN.

To connect the PC directly to the router, use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet card on the PC to any one of the router’s switch ports. Note the PC’s IP address and mask.

To connect via a LAN, use an Ethernet cable to connect the router’s switch port(s) to the device(s) on the LAN. Select the LAN PC from which you wish to configure the router. The PC should be in the same subnet as the part of the LAN that contains the router (for example, the PC could be connected to a hub or Layer 2 switch that is directly connected to one of the router’s switch ports). Note the PC’s IP address and mask.
