6 Accessing the U-router NGW Configuration Interface
All configuration of the U-router NGW is done through the command line interface (CLI) or the WEB
GUI. To start configuring the unit you have to log into the U-router NGW using a username and
password. The default user on the U-router is called “ rfi ” and has password “ rfi123 ”. The command
line interface can either be accessed through the Ethernet port of the unit, of through the GSM/LTE
interface.
6.1 Console Login via SSH and the Ethernet Port (CLI)
Connecting via SSH is usually a simple procedure, but requires some knowledge of how to configure
the network settings of your desktop or laptop PC. When the U-router ships, the unit has been
configured with a static IP address. In order to log in to the U-router NGW you can connect a laptop
or desktop computer to the Ethernet port of the unit. In case you connect a computer directly to the
U-router NGW please make sure you use a cross Ethernet cable.
The default IP address of the U-router is set to
192.168.168.1
After configuring your PC to be able to contact the U-router, you can login using your favorite SSH
client. SSH clients can be downloaded from for example http://www.ssh.com (OpenSSH) or
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html (PuTTY). In our examples the
PuTTY client will be used. Consult your SSH client documentation if you use a different SSH client.
To connect to your U-router for the first time using the PuTTY client, start the client from the
Windows START menu. Enter the IP address ( 192.168.168.1 ), User Name ( rfi ) and port number
( 22 ) for the U-router NGW in the dialogue box:
Host Name: 192.168.168.1
User Name: rfi
Port Number: 22
Then click the
Open
button
When connected the unit prompts you to enter a username and a password:
login as: rfi
root@192.168.168.1's password:
The default password of the unit is set to ‘ rfi123 ’.
6.2 Logging out (CLI)
Before going further, you should know how to log out of the system. By typing “ exit ” in the U-
router NGW CLI you are automatically logged out.
