Using the Web Manager

If you are setting up the Modem for the first time you may want to read the previous chapter, First Time Se Up. This chapter describes functions and features of the Modem’s configuration manager that are not described in the previous chapter.

Web-based Configuration Manager GUI

When you first access the web-based configuration manager, you will see a graphical user interface (GUI) that presents user-defined variables such as a User Name and Password if you using PPPoE or PPPoA for your ADSL service. This is also where you can change the Connection Type used by the Modem to establish the ADSL connection and ultimately the connection to the Internet. If you are going to up date or upgrade the Modem’s firmware, do this before making any other changes. To upgrade firmware, click the Update Firmware hyperlink to go to the Update menu.

The hyperlinks on the left side of the GUI are labeled according to their function. The Account Configuration menu is the first menu you will see when you access the configuration manager, regardless of what type of connection the Modem is configured to use. The menus linked to these hyperlinks are described in the remaining sections of this chapter.
