DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide

Access the Web Configuration Manager

Once the computer has IP settings that allow it to access the web-based configuration software, you can change the settings to enable the Router to connect to the Internet.

If the browser software on the computer you are using is configured to use a proxy server for Internet access, it is necessary to first disable the proxy connection.

Check for Proxy service in Windows Internet Explorer:

In Windows Internet Explorer, you can check if a proxy server is enabled using the following procedure:

1.In Windows, click on the START button, go to Settings and choose Control Panel.

2.In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Internet Options icon.

3.Click the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button.

4.Verify that the “Use proxy server” option is NOT checked. If it is checked, click in the checked box to deselect the option and click OK.

To use the web-based management software, launch your web browser software and use the LAN IP address of the Router to access the management software. The default LAN IP address of the Router is used in the Address bar of your web browser window. Type in http:// followed by the default IP address, 10.1.1.1 in the address bar of the browser. The URL in the address bar should read: http://10.1.1.1

A new window appears prompting you for a user name and password needed to gain access the web configuration manager.

Use the default user name: admin and password: admin for first time set up. You can change the password once you have established the ADSL connection. The user name and password allows any computer on the same subnet as the Router to access the web configuration manger. This password can also be used to Telnet to the device through the Ethernet or the Internet interfaces. To change this password, see the next chapter.
