Chapter 4:

Advanced Configuration

After setting up the Gateway with the Setup Wizard (located on the CD-ROM), the Gateway will be ready for use. However, if you’d like to change its advanced settings, use the Gateway’s web-based utility. This chapter describes each web page of the utility and each page’s key functions. You can access the utility via a web browser on a computer connected to the Gateway.

The web-based utility has these main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.

NOTE: When first installing the Gateway, you should use the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD- ROM. If you want to configure advanced settings, use this chapter.

NOTE: For New Zealand, follow these instructions after accessing the web-based utility in the Setup > Basic Setup screen:

1.Select RFC 2364 PPPoA from the Encapsulation drop-down menu.

2.For the Virtual Circuit ID, enter 0 for the VPI and 100 for the VCI.

3.Select VC for Multiplexing.

4.Select Multimode from the DSL Modulation drop-down menu.

5.Enter your User Name and Password details from your ISP.

6.Click Save Settings.

How to Access the Web-Based Utility

To access the web-based utility, launch the web browser on your computer, and enter the Gateway’s default IP address, 192.168.1.1, in the Address field. Then, press Enter.

A login screen appears. Use the default user name and password, admin, unless you have changed them during the Setup Wizard. (You can set a new user name and password from the Administration tab’s Management screen.) Click OK to continue.

Gateway Login

If you are unable to log in, press the Reset button on the back panel for at least 5 seconds, then wait for the device to reset and try again.
