Installing the router
Exploring the interface
This may be a good opportunity to take a few minutes to explore the interface before
proceeding. Keep these points in mind as you view the graphical interface:
•
The graphical user interface (GUI) is browser-based, so its behavior is
similar to Internet Web pages. For example, you can click the
Back
button
in your browser or press the backspace key to return to the previous page.
•
Navigation buttons are on the left side of the page, and are divided into two
general categories—Monitor
and Configure. The Configure pages are used
for setting up the router.
•
Click Help for more information about any page you are viewing.
•
Some of the charts, graphics, or data in the interface are linked to other
pages with additional information. In
, for example, the event logs
(such as System, Alarm, and Intrusion) can be reviewed just by clicking on
the underlined words. If you are unsure whether something is a link, move
your cursor over it. The cursor shape—and sometimes the color of the
object itself—changes whenever it is positioned over a link.
Step 5: Allow remote access (optional)
If the network administrator will manage the router from a remote location, go to the
Configure > System > Management Access
page and in the Enable column of the
untrusted inbound zone, select the http, telnet, and/or any other check boxes
specified by the administrator. Do not allow remote access unless instructed to do
so, as it removes a layer of network defense.
If the router is equipped with the optional modem, specify “cliDialIn” in the modem
Operation list to allow dial-in access to the command line interface (CLI) by the
network administrator. Only model Q2201 routers are equipped with a modem. The
model number is listed on the label underneath the router and on the shipping box.
NOTE
The router’s graphical user interface is not available through the Modem port. Refer
to the
CLI Reference Guide
for further information about CLI commands available
via modem.
Step 6: Enter the worksheet information
Next, configure the router using the information you gathered in the configuration
worksheet on
Default LAN interface configuration
The router’s default LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. If you plan to set up a new LAN with the Q2200 router or replace an
existing router, there is usually no need to change these addresses. The router can
remain a DHCP server with the default IP address and subnet mask.likely you’ll
need to change these addresses. The information is available in the
section.
