Installing the Access Gateway 59

Assigning the Location Information and IP Addresses :

Assigning the Network Interface IP Address -
This is the public IP
address that allows administrators and subscribers to see the Access Gateway
on the network. Use this address when you need to make a network connection
with the Access Gateway.

Assigning the Subnet Mask – The subnet mask defines the number of IP
addresses that are available on the routed subnet where the Access Gateway is
located.

Assigning the Default Gateway IP Address
– This is the IP address of
the router that the Access Gateway uses to transmit data to the Internet.
Assigning Login User Names and Passwords
When you initially powered up the Access Gateway and logged in to the Management
Interface, the default login user name and password you used was “admin.” The Access
Gateway allows you to define 2 concurrent access levels to differentiate between managers and
operators, where managers are permitted
read/write access and operators are restricted to read
access only. Once the logins have been assigned, managers have the ability to perform all write
commands (
Submit , Reset , Reboot , Add , Delete , etc.), but operators cannot change any system
settings. When Administration Concurrency is enabled, one manager and three operators can
access the Access Gateway at any one time (the default setting for this feature is “disabled”).
