Content Security Gateway User’s Manual

Chapter 3: Getting Started

3.1 Web Configuration

STEP 1:

Connect both the Administrator’s PC and the LAN port of the Content Security Gateway to a hub or switch. Make sure there is a link light on the hub/switch for both connections. The Content Security Gateway has an embedded web server used for management and configuration. Use a web browser to display the configurations of the Content Security Gateway (such as Internet Explorer 4(or above) or Netscape 4.0(or above) with full java script support). The default IP address of the Content Security Gateway is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Therefore, the IP address of the Administrator PC must be in the range between 192.168.1.2– 192.168.1.254

If the company’s LAN IP Address is not subnet of 192.168.1.0, (i.e. LAN IP Address is 172.16.0.1), then the Administrator must change his/her PC IP address to be within the same range of the LAN subnet (i.e. 172.16.0.2). Reboot the PC if necessary.

By default, the Content Security Gateway is shipped with its DHCP Server function enabled. This means the client computers on the LAN network including the Administrator PC can set their TCP/IP settings to automatically obtain an IP address from the Content Security Gateway.

The following table is a list of private IP addresses. These addresses may not be used as a WAN IP address.

10.0.0.0~ 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0~ 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 ~ 192.168.255.255

STEP 2:

Once the Administrator PC has an IP address on the same network as the Content Security Gateway, open up an Internet web browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar.

A pop-up screen will appear and prompt for a username and password. A username and password is required to connect to the Content Security Gateway. Enter the default login username and password of Administrator (see below).

Username: admin
Password: admin

Click OK.
