5.Open a web browser, type in the default gateway IP address. http://192.168.2.1. You will see the login page of the device.

NOTE: If using a web browser to enter the configuration page, strip the leading “0”s because the browser

will parse in octet. (i.e. if the IP address is: 192.168.001.014, please type in: 192.168.1.14).
