Chapter 2 Installation

Connecting to a Website

Connecting to a Website

The router has been configured to work for the most common type of installation. Log onto a PC connected to the router, open a web browser, and connect to a website. If you connected to a website, you have completed setup and can continue to use the router.

If you cannot display a website, make sure that the broadband modem or Ethernet switch that the router is connected to is operating, and try again. If you still cannot connect to a website, you must follow the steps in “What to Do If You Cannot Connect to a Website.”

What to Do If You Cannot Connect to a Website

If you cannot connect to the Internet using the factory configuration, or if you have loaded new Cisco IOS software on the router since you installed it, you can configure the router, using the Cisco Router Web Setup (CRWS) software. The CRWS software is already loaded on the router, and is run from a PC connected to the router.

Starting the CRWS Software

Follow these steps to start the CRWS software:

Step 1 Start, or restart, a PC connected to one of the router’s Ethernet ports (1, 2, 3, or 4).

Step 2 Open a web browser. Make sure that the browser is set to work in online mode.

In Internet Explorer, click the File menu, and verify that the “work offline” option is unchecked.

In Netscape, the default selection in the File menu is set to work online.
