Configuration Program
The Wireless Router contains an HTTP server. This enables you to connect to it, and configure
it, using your Web Browser. Your Browser must support JavaScript. The configuration pro-
gram has been tested on the following browsers:
• Netscape V4.08 or later
• Internet Explorer V4 or later
Preparation
Before attempting to configure the Wireless Router, please ensure that:
• Your PC can establish a physical connection to the Router. The PC and the Wireless
Router must be directly connected (using the Hub ports on the Router) or on the same
LAN segment.
• The Wireless Router must be installed and powered ON.
• If the Wireless Router's default IP Address (192.168.254.254) is already used by another
device, the other device must be turned OFF until the Wireless Router is allocated a new IP
Address during configuration.
Connecting to the Wireless Router
Using UPnP
If your Windows operating system supports UPnP, an icon for the Wireless Router will appear
in the system tray, notifying you that a new network device has been found, and offering to
create a new desktop shortcut to the newly-discovered device.
• Unless you intend to change the IP Address of the Router, you can accept the desktop
shortcut.
• Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can always find UPnP devices in My
Network Places (previously called Network Neighborhood).
• Double - click the icon for the Wireless Router (either on the Desktop, or in My Network
Places) to start the configuration. Refer to the following section Setup Wizard for details of
the initial configuration process.
Using your Web Browser

1. After installing the Wireless Router in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is already
running, restart it.
2. Start your Web browser.
3. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of the Wireless Router, as in this
example, which uses the Wireless Router's default IP Address:
