Configuring the 56K LAN
Modem for the Typical
Configuration
The following steps allow you to configure the 56K LAN Modem for the typical
configuration. You may need the IP address which you recorded previously in the
“Setting Up Your Computer If You Have a Static IP Address”section.
1 Launch your Web browser.
The LAN Modem attempts to use its default IP address (192.168.1.1) to
communicate with the attached computer. If communication cannot be
established, the LAN Modem will change its default IP address. If this occurs, the
unit will reset itself and then function as described in this section.
Regardless of the start page to which your Web browser is set, your Web browser
will go to the 56K LAN Modem configuration setup screen.
A welcome message appears, as shown in Figure 32.

A message box appears indicating that the LAN Modem clock is being
synchronized to the date and time on your PC.
The Set Password window appears. This password is used to guard access to the
56K LAN Modem’s configuration program. If you would like to restrict access to
the configuration settings, select a password and record it in a safe place.
