605-0001-801 FlexNET Link Products
CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW - BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The ASN-700/800 link router product can be used for versatile link deployments. Different
configuration alternatives are possible. This product is used in networks based on IP routing.
Key issues described in this manual focus on basic configuration of both wireless and wired
interfaces of this product. Before you begin to install this product, make sure that you have
following basic issues prepared necessary for router installation: IP network plan where the
ASN-700/800 is to be installed, IP addresses for wired/wireless interfaces of the ASN-700/800,
and radio network plan for the use of 802.11a radios and channels, as well as radio settings
appropriate to your network and hardware (see page 19).
Connecting to the ASN-700/800 products
The ASN-700/800 is configured via a practical web-based configuration utility. The configuration
utility can be accessed using an ordinary web browser, and allows you to edit, manage and
monitor your ASN-700/800 settings and functionality.
The configuration utility supports the following web browsers:
Internet Explorer versions 5.0, or higher
Mozilla versions 0.9, or higher
Netscape Navigator versions 6.1, or higher
Opera, versions 7, or higher
Other web browsers may also be acceptable, but have not been tested. Only the web browsers
listed above can be guaranteed to function correctly when used to configure the ASN-700/800.
Establishing the initial connection
First, plug in the power cable of the ASN-700/800 to power up the unit.
Establish a physical connection to the ASN-700/800. If you are using a laptop or a desktop
computer, this can be done using a cross wired twisted pair Ethernet cable to connect your
PC to ethernet1 port of the ASN-700/800.
Set your computer IP addresses as follows:
IP address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Once the unit is powered up and your IP parameters are set, you may use your web
browser to connect to the IP address of the ASN-700/800. The ASN-700/800 is pre-
configured with default IP addresses “192.168.1.1” on the ethernet1 interface.
Default IP address
Factory default value: 192.168.1.1
Default IP address may be later changed by an administrator (see page 18 for information
about changing the IP address of an interface). To connect to the configuration utility,
perform the following steps:
1.
Enter the IP address of the ASN-700/800 in your browser's address or location bar.
2.
Press ENTER. This will bring you to the login screen shown in Figure 1.
