5. Configuration
The following chapters give information about setting up the router and configuring its
features as provided with system software 3.8.
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 Pro-
tocol (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 Ethernet1 port of the router
using a standard CAT5 cable with RJ45 (or M12) connectors.
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.
