Logging On to the Web Interface

The first time you log on to the Web interface, you will be required to enter a system password in the Administrative User Setup screen. You will also have the option of changing the user name from the default setting of admin. After your initial log on, the System Summary or PPP Login [Choose Connection] screen will display, depending on your connection.

To log on to the Web interface for the first time:

1.In your Microsoft Internet Explorer Address bar or Netscape Navigator Location bar, enter the default router IP address: http://192.168.254.254

The Administrative User Setup screen displays.

2.You may accept the default user name admin, or enter a new user name in the User Name box. The user name is case- sensitive.

3.Enter a password in the New Password box; then enter the same password in the Confirm New Password box.

Note You must enter a password before proceeding. Both user name and password are case-sensitive. Be sure to record your user name and password. You will need to use them when you log on again.

Important! Any keystroke or combination of keystrokes can be used as a password. For example, the Delete shortcut key combination, CTRL+X, would be accepted as a valid password character.

4.Select the login security level you prefer:

Require admin login to access entire Web site:

Before you can access any screen in the Web interface, you must log in with your network user name and password. (Security level = High)

Require admin login to access configuration pages:
