ProSafe Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G Reference Manual
2-2 Connecting the VPN Firewall to the Internet
v1.1, August 2010
6. Configure the WAN options (optional). As an option, change the VPN firewall’s Media
Access Control (MAC) address, the factory default MTU size, and the port speed. However,
these are advanced features and changing them is not usually required. See “Configuring the
Advanced Broadband Options” on page 2-13.
Each of these tasks is detailed separately in this chapter. The configuration of firewall and VPN
features is described in later chapters.
Logging into the VPN Firewall
To connect to the VPN firewall, your computer needs to be configured to obtain an IP address
automatically via DHCP. If you need instructions on how to configure you computer for DHCP,
refer to the “Preparing Your Network” document that you can access from the link in Appendix C,
“Related Documents.”
To log in to the VPN firewall:
1. Connect to the VPN firewall by typing http://192.168.1.1 in the address field of your browser.
2. When prompted, enter admin for the VPN firewall user name and password for the VPN
firewall password, both in lower case letters. (The VPN firewall user name and password are
not the same as any user name or password you may use to log in to your Internet connection.)
Note: In this manual, “WAN port” and “broadband port” both indicate the same port
through which the VPN firewall connects to the Internet.
