Configuration
Before the router can be started up, it must be configured. The
individual steps for starting up will be explained in the present chapter.

Configuring options
4.1.1
Configuring via the Ethernet interface
With this configuring option, a computer integrated into your Ethernet
may be used for configuring. Either an SSH client or a standard web
browser (recommended) must be installed on this PC.
When working with a web browser, the IP (Ethernet) address
192.168.1.100 is used by default to address the router. When
connecting via telephone, the address of the modem interface is
192.168.6.1. If your network uses an address other than 192.168.1.0,
please proceed as described in Section 4.1.1.1 and 4.2.1.
4.1.1.1
Setting the IP address in accordance with the local
network
It is not always possible to set the local network to 192.168.1.x, or else
the address 192.168.1.100 may already exist. The router can be set to
any address via a serial connection using a terminal program to allow
access via a browser. Any further configurations can subsequently be
made in the browser.
You will need a PC on which a terminal program is installed, a free
RS232 interface and an RS232 interconnecting cable.
The connection between computer and router is established using the
RS232 interconnecting cable. To this end, connect a serial interface of
the PC to the "Console" interface of your router. You can use the
Windows program "HyperTerminal".
Windows already includes the terminal program HyperTerminal. Other
terminal programs (such as "minicom" under Linux, etc.) are also
supported.
The description provided below refers to HyperTerminal.
First, establish a connection using "File - New Connection". Enter a
name for the new connection and select a symbol. Do not enter a
dialling number under "Connect To"! Only the serial interface to be used
is important.
The following settings are required for the serial interface:
