3.3.3 Default Router Settings
In addition to handling the DSL connection to your ISP, the RX3141 can provide a variety of services to your
network. The device is pre-configured with default settings for use with a typical home or small office network.
Table 3.2 lists some of the most important default settings; these and other features are described fully in the
subsequent chapters. If you are familiar with network configuration settings, review the settings in Table 3.2 to
verify that they meet the needs of your network. Follow the instructions to change them if necessary. If you are
unfamiliar with these settings, try using the device without modification, or contact your ISP for assistance.
Before you modifying any settings, review Chapter 4 for general information about accessing and using the
Configuration Manager program. We strongly recommend that you contact your ISP prior to changing the
default configuration.
