AR700 Series Router

Fit the power cord retaining clip to the AC power inlet on the router’s rear panel.

Connect the provided power cord to the AC power inlet and clip it in place. Switch the router’s power switch to the ON position. The Power LED lights continuously and the System LED lights briefly. The Port LEDs also light briefly. If the LEDs fail to light, check that the router is receiving power.

Configuring the Router

To configure the router you can either:

“Configuring with the GUI” on page 10 (AR750S only)

“Configuring with the CLI” on page 13

The AR750S and AR770S routers have a simple default configuration (“Default configuration” on page 15).

Configuring with the GUI

This section describes how to access the AR750S GUI via a switch port in VLAN1, 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.

We recommend starting to configure the AR750S using the GUI. You can then use the CLI if necessary to complete your configuration (“Configuring with the CLI” on page 13).

The GUI requires a PC and web browser. Supported browsers are Internet Explorer 5.0 or 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.

Caution If another device on your network already uses the router’s default IP address, 192.168.1.1, do not connect the router to the network until you have changed the management port’s address by using the command line.
