Mounting the Router

Tip If the CRWS home page does not appear when you enter the URL http://10.10.10.1, test the connection between the PC and the router by doing the following:

1.Check that the OK LED on the router is on, and check the cable connection between the router and the PC.

2.If the CRWS home page still does not appear, verify that the web browser’s “work offline” option is disabled.

3.If the web page still does not appear, verify that your PC is automatically configured to receive an IP address. Follow the instructions in the

Cisco Router Web Setup Troubleshooting Guide section, which is available on Cisco.com.

4.If the PC is configured to automatically receive an IP address, but the web page still does not appear, select Start/Run, type winipcfg in the Run window, and examine the address in the IP address field. The address should be in the format 10.10.10.X, in which X is a number that is equal to or greater than 2; for example, 10.10.10.2, or 10.10.10.3. If the IP address is not in this format, verify that an Ethernet adapter name is visible in the Adapter field. If there is no name in the field, return to Step 3 in the “Checking the PC Configuration” section on page 2-46and add TCP to the list of protocols. Then return to the “Using Cisco Router Web Setup to Configure the Router” section on page 2-47, and complete the procedure.

Step 4 If you have no special configuration requirements, click the Router Setup link on the home page, and then click Easy Setup. (This may appear as Quick Setup on some models.) Then, enter the username and password provided to you by your Internet service provider, and click Apply.

Step 5 If you need to configure special features such as Network Address Translation (NAT), click the appropriate links on the home page, and complete the configuration screens.

Step 6 Click the Password link on the home page, and set a password for the router.

Step 7 Click the Test Connection link on the home page, and allow the connection to be tested.
