4 Using the Configuration Manager

The RX3141 includes a preinstalled program called the Configuration Manager, which provides an interface to the software installed on the device. It enables you to configure the device settings to meet the needs of your network. You access it through your web browser from any PC connected to the RX3141 via the LAN or the WAN ports.

This chapter describes the general guides for using the Configuration Manager.

4.1Log into the Configuration Manager

The Configuration Manager program is preinstalled on the RX3141. To access the program, you need the following:

fA computer connected to the LAN or WAN port on the RX3141 as described in the Quick Start Guide chapter.

fA web browser installed on the computer. The program is designed to work best with Microsoft Internet Explorer® 6.0 or later.

You may access the program from any computer connected to the RX3141 via the LAN or WAN ports. However, the instructions provided here are for computers connected via the LAN ports.

1.From a LAN computer, open your web browser, type the following in the web address (or location) box, and press <Enter>:

http://192.168.1.1

This is the predefined IP address for the LAN port on the RX3141. A login screen displays, as shown in Figure 4.1.
