7. CONFIGURING THE ROUTER FOR INTERNET CONNECTION

To surf the Internet using your Westell Dual Connect Router, you must set up your account profile, confirm your DSL sync, and establish a PPP session with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). After you have connected to the Internet, you may use the Router’s Network Address Translation (NAT) feature to configure your Router for a specific NAT service, details discussed later in this section.

7.1 Setting Up an Account Profile

NOTE: Before you set up your account profile, you must obtain your Account ID and Account Password from your Internet service provider. You will use this information when you set up your account parameters. (Account Parameters are required before connecting to the Internet.)

After connecting the Router, bring up your Web browser and type http://dslrouter or http://192.168.1.1 in the browser’s address window. Press Enter on your keyboard. The Getting Started screen will appear. Click on next.
