Installing the router
Installation shortcut for IT professionals
If you are an IT professional or have previously installed a Kentrox QoS router, the
abbreviated steps on this page may be all you need. If you are new to installing this
type of equipment, the pages that follow offer a detailed explanation of each step.
Step 1:
Install the router on a wall, in a rack, or place it on a desk top.
Step 2:
Apply power to the router, then connect a computer to one of the Ethernet
LAN ports using the included Ethernet cable (or equivalent). Since the
router is by default a DHCP server on the LAN side, be sure to set the
computer to obtain its IP address automatically. If you are modifying the
LAN IP configuration, do not connect devices other than your console to the
LAN until the configuration changes have been made. See
LAN interface configuration” on page 19
for more information.
Step 3:
Reboot the computer you will use to configure the router. Open your
Internet browser and enter 192.168.1.1 in the address field. This is the
default LAN-side IP address of the router. Enter the user name “admin” at
the login prompt, but no password. The router’s home page opens, as shown
Step 4:
To prevent unauthorized access to the router, navigate to the
Configure >
System > Users
page, and set a password for the default user, Admin.
Step 5:
If a network administrator will manage the router from a remote location, go
to the
Configure > System > Management Access
page and select http,
telnet, and/or any other check boxes in the untrusted zone, as specified by
the administrator.
Step 6:
Enter the information from the worksheet above into the appropriate
configuration pages.
Step 7:
Attach the WAN and LAN cables.

Step 8:
Go to the
Configure > System > Restart
page to save your configuration
changes to non-volatile memory. If changes were made to the LAN IP
address or DHCP options, you may have to restart each PC on the LAN side
of the router.
Step 9:
Go to the
Monitor > Traffic > Ping
page to validate your WAN connectivity
by pinging a device on the WAN, such as the default gateway.
