Network Router User Manual
2. Web Conguration
e Web-based GRouter device interface allows the user to access and change conguration data
on the GRouter device by using any http Web browser attached to the network. is allows users
to make changes to the GRouter device remotely. is chapter familiarizes the user with the
various pages of the Web-based Interface and describes the steps necessary to changing
conguration data.
2.1. Default IP Conguration
e GRouter device is congured through a web browser such as FireFox, Internet Explorer,
Safari, or others. In order to connect to the GRouter device from a web browser, the GRouter
device and the computer running the web browser must be connected to the same IP network.
e factory default IP host address of the GRouter device is 10.0.2.40 with subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. e router's web server is serving http on port 80. e computer running the web
browser must be able to access the GRouter device's subnet.
2.1.1. Ethernet
For Ethernet equipped GRouter devices, rst congure the host computer to add an IP interface
on subnet 10.0.2.0/255. Connect one end of a Cat5 Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 on the GRouter
device and the other end to an Ethernet hub or switch or directly to a computer with a crossover
cable or straight through if the computer’s Ethernet port supports auto crossover (Auto MDIX).
e GRouter Ethernet port is MDI only. In cases where the LAN does not support the default
subnet, a direct connection between the GRouter device and the web browser host computer will
be needed.
