Chapter 7
Using the Manager Interface for Initial Router
Configuration
This chapter contains information about basic configuration for your Model RP114 Web Safe
Router using the internal Manager interface. The initial configuration consists of:
– accessing the Manager,
– naming the router,
– and setting up the LAN interface, including DHCP parameters to be assigned to the
attached PCs.
After you have performed basic router configuration, proceed to Chapter 8, “Using the Manager
Interface to Configure the Router for Internet Access,” and Chapter 10, “Configuring Filters,” to
configure Internet access and additional features.
Connecting for Configuration
The Manager interface is accessible by a Telnet call from any TCP/IP workstation on the LAN or
the remote network. In order to use the Telnet Protocol, you must know the current IP address of
the router. The router is shippped with a default address of 192.168.0.1.
To establish a Telnet connection from the LAN, you must set up your workstation to reach the IP
address of the router by doing one of the following:
• Set your workstation to an IP address on the currently programmed subnet of the router.
Note:
You can also use the browser-based setup to configure most router features, and
later use the Manager interface to configure more advanced features.
