Basic Configuration of the Modem
This chapter describes how to perform the basic configuration of your Model DM602 ADSL
Modem for your Internet connection.
Accessing the Web Configuration Manager in the Modem
In order to use the browser-based Web Configuration Manager built into the modem, your
computer must have a web browser program installed such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator. Because the Configuration Manager uses Java, your Web browser must be
Java-enabled and support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet
Explorer 4.0 or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above. Free browser programs are readily available for
Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX/Linux.
To configure the modem for Internet access using your browser:
1. Turn on the modem and wait at least ten seconds for initialization to complete.
If you normally use a login program such as Enternet or WinPOET to access the Internet, do
not launch that program.
2. Reboot your computer to obtain DHCP configuration from the modem.
3. Launch your web browser, and click your browser’s Stop button.
Note: The Model DM602 modem ships from the factory set in Router Device Mode and
functions as a DHCP server. So, if the TCP/IP configuration of your computer is set to
optain an IP address automatically, it will be able to connect to the modem.
