Accessing the Configuration Manager | SMC Networks SMC7204BRA

GETTING STARTED WITH THE CONFIGURATION MANAGER

The ADSL Barricade includes a preinstalled program called Configuration Manager, which provides an interface to the software installed on the device. It enables you to configure the device settings to meet the needs of your network. You access it through your web browser from any PC connected to the ADSL Barricade via the LAN ports.

This section describes how to use the Configuration Manager.

Accessing the Configuration Manager

The Configuration Manager program is preinstalled in the ADSL Barricade memory. To access the program, you need the following:

•

•

A PC or laptop connected to the LAN port on the device as described in the Quick Start section.

A web browser installed on the PC. The program is designed to work best with Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 5.0, Netscape Navigator® version 6.1, or later versions.

You can access the program from any computer connected to the ADSL Barricade via the LAN ports.

1.From a LAN computer, open your web browser, type the following URL in the web address (or location) box, and press [Enter: http://192.168.1.1].

These are the predefined IP addresses for the LAN

on the ADSL Barricade. A login screen appears, as shown in Figure 3.
