2. Web Configuration
e Web-based GR3 router interface allows the user to access and change configuration data on
the GR3 router by using any http Web browser attached to the network. is allows users to make
changes to the GR3 router remotely. is chapter familiarizes the user with the various pages of
the Web-based Interface and describes the steps necessary to changing configuration data.
2.1. Default IP Configuration
e GR3 router is configured through a web browser such as FireFox, Internet Explorer, Safari, or
others. In order to connect to the GR3 router from a web browser, the GR3 router and the
computer running the web browser must be connected to the same IP network. e factory
default IP host address of the GR3 router is 10.0.2.40 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. e
router's web server is serving http on port 80. e computer running the web browser must be

In cases where the LAN does not support the default subnet, a direct connection between the
GR3 router and the web browser host computer can be implemented. For direct connect, first
configure the host computer to add an IP interface on subnet 10.0.2.0/255. If the host computer's
Ethernet port supports Auto MDIX (automatic crossover) then connect a Cat5 cable between the
GR3 router and the host computer. If the host computer's Ethernet port does not support Auto
MDIX then use an Ethernet crossover cable or insert a dedicated Ethernet hub or switch between
the host computer and the GR3 router Ethernet ports.
