Chapter 5: Configuring the ADSL Gateway
Overview
Follow the steps in this chapter and use the Gateway’s web-based utility to configure the Gateway. This chapter
will describe each web page in the Utility and each page’s key functions. The utility can be accessed via your web
browser through use of a computer connected to the Gateway. For a basic network setup, most users only have to
use the following screens of the Utility:
• Basic Setup. On the Basic Setup screen, enter the settings provided by your ISP.
• Management. Click the Administration tab and then the Management tab. The Gateway’s default username
and password is admin. To secure the Gateway, change the Password from its default.
There are six main tabs: Setup, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status.
Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
Setup
• Basic Setup. Enter the Internet connection and network settings on this screen.
• DDNS. To enable the Gateway’s Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature, complete the fields on this
screen.
• Advanced Routing. On this screen, you can alter NAT and routing configurations.
NOTE: For added security, you should change
the password through the Administration tab.
