Connecting to the J-Web Interface

If you plan to use the J-Web interface to configure the Services Router, you must connect through one of the built-in Ethernet management ports, as shown in Figure 54 on page 98 and Figure 55 on page 98.

When the Services Router is powered on for the first time, the system looks for a DHCP server, and if it does not find one, it assigns an IP address within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnetwork to any devices connected to it.

To connect to the J-Web interface through port 0 on the router (see Figure 54 on page

98 and Figure 55 on page 98):

1.On the management device, such as a PC or laptop, you use to access the J-Web interface, verify that the address of the port that you connect to the router is set to one of the following:

An Ethernet address on the 192.168.1/24 subnetwork other than

192.168.1.1

An Ethernet address from a DHCP server

2.Turn off the power to the management device.

3.Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the management device.

4.Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the built-in Ethernet port on the router.

5.Power on the router by pressing the power button on the front panel.

6.Wait until the STATUS LED on the front panel turns solid green.

7.Turn on the power to the management device. The router assigns an IP address to the management device within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnetwork if the device is configured to use DHCP.

8.From the management device, open a Web browser and enter the IP address 192.168.1.1 in the address field. The Set Up Quick Configuration page appears.

9.Configure basic settings for your router as described in “Configuring Basic Settings with J-Web Quick Configuration” on page 103.

NOTE: You must manually configure the IP address for the management port you are using before you save your initial configuration. When you save the configuration for the first time, you will lose the connection to the router if you have not manually configured the IP address. If you lose connection through the management interface, you must connect through the console port.
