5.1. First Steps
NetModule routers can be easily set up by using the HTTP-based configuration interface, called the
Web Manager. It is supported by the latest web browsers (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, Mozilla
Firefox 28.0, Safari 7 and many others). Please ensure to have JavaScript turned on.
Any submitted configuration via the Web Manager will be applied immediately to the system when
pressing the
Apply
button. When configuring subsystems which require multiple steps (for instance
WLAN) you can use the
Continue
button to store any settings temporarily and apply them at a later
time. Please note, that those settings will be neglected at logout unless applied.
You may also upload configuration files via SNMP, SSH, HTTP or USB in case you intend to deploy a
larger numbers of routers. Advanced users may also use the Command Line Interface (CLI) and set
configuration parameters directly.
The IP address of Ethernet1 is
192.168.1.1
and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is
activated on the interface by default. The following steps need to be taken to establish your first Web
Manager session:
1. Connect the Ethernet port of your computer to the Ethernet 1 (FastEthernet) port of the router
using a shielded CAT5 cable with RJ45 (or M12) connector.
2. If not yet activated, enable DHCP on your computer’s Ethernet interface so that an IP address
can be obtained automatically from the router. This usually takes a short amount of time until
your PC has received the corresponding parameters (IP address, subnet mask, default gateway,
name server). You may track the progress by having a look to your network control panel and
check whether your PC has correctly retrieved an IP address of the range
192.168.1.100
to
192.168.1.199
.
3. Launch your favorite web browser and point it to the IP address of the router (the URL is
http://192.168.1.1 ).
4. Please follow the instructions of the Web Manager for configuring the router. Most of the menus
are self-explanatory, further details are given in the following chapters.
5.1.1. Initial Access
In factory state you will be prompted for a new administrator password. Please choose a password
which is both, easy to remember but also robust against dictionary attacks (such as one that con-
tains numbers, letters and punctuation characters). The password shall have a minimum length of 6
characters. It shall contain a minimum of 2 numbers and 2 letters.
