7 Logging In to the Router for the First Time
Before You Start
If your PC's operating system provides terminal simulation software (like HyperTerminal in Windows 2000), you
do not need to install additional terminal simulation software. If the PC runs on an operating system without
terminal simulation software (like Windows 7), install third-party terminal simulation software on the PC by
referring to user manual or online help.
A PC may have more than one serial port. Select the port connected to the console port. Generally, COM1 is
used. If you modify the serial port communication parameters on the router, modify the communication
parameters on the PC to ensure that they use the same communication parameters, and then set up the
connection again.
If the web page is displayed abnormally, the browser version may be too low. Upgrade the browser and log in
to the web platform using Mozilla Firefox 12.0 or later, Google Chrome 23 or later, or Internet Explorer 8.0 or
later.
The login page varies according to version.
Login Procedure
Step 1
Turn on the power switch on the external power supply and log in to the

Step 2
Use a console cable to connect a PC to the console interface of the
router.
Step 3
