Chapter 6: The Cable/DSL VPN
Router’s Web-based Utility
The VPN Router uses a web-based interface to administer the Router. The
interface can be accessed via Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape through
use of a computer connected with a network cable to the Router.
To access the web-based interface of the Router, launch Internet Explorer or
Netscape, and enter the Router’s
default IP address, 192.168.1.1
into the Address field, as shown
in Figure 6-1. Then, press
Enter.
After entering the address value into the web browser, a password request page
will pop up. Leave the User Name field empty, and type admin into the
Password field. (See Figure 6-2.) Then, click the OK button.
In this section, you’ll find brief descriptions of each webpage in the Utility and
each page’s key functions.
To apply any of the settings you change on a page, click the Apply button, and
then click the Continue button. To cancel any values you’ve entered on any
page, click the Cancel button.
