4.Assign an IP address to VLAN1.

Assign the VLAN1 interface an IP address in the subnet that the PC uses, using the command:

ADD IP INTERFACE=vlan1 IP=ipaddress MASK=mask

5.Browse to the GUI.

If you access the Internet through a proxy server, set your browser to bypass the proxy for the IP address you just assigned to the VLAN1 interface.

Point your web browser at the IP address of the VLAN interface.

6.Log in and set the password.

At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password. Passwords are case sensitive.

The system status page appears and you can now use the GUI to configure the router.

To ensure configuration settings are saved correctly, use the GUI menus and buttons to navigate, not your browser’s buttons.

As a security precaution, change the password as soon as possible.

To change the password, select Management > Users from the sidebar menu. Select the Manager account and click Modify.

7.To access context-sensitive help in the GUI.

Connecting the Data Cables

Connecting the AR450S to your network:

1.Connect to the LAN and DMZ.

If you have not already done so, use a straight-through Ethernet patch cable to connect the device(s) on your private network (LAN) to the router’s switch port(s). Two straight-through Ethernet patch cables are supplied with the router. By default, all five switch ports are members of VLAN1.

If you have a public server, use a straight-through Ethernet patch cable to connect it to the router’s Ethernet DMZ (ETH1) port. Separating public servers from your LAN allows the firewall to provide greater protection for your LAN. If you have multiple public servers, you can connect them to a hub or Layer 2 switch and connect that device to the router’s DMZ port.
