4 Accessing the G-router configuration, user 'admin'
All configuration of the G-router is done through the command line interface (CLI) or the web
interface of the unit. To start configuring the unit you have to log into the G-router using a
username and password. The default user on the G-router is called 'admin' and has password
'rfi123'. The command line interface can either be accessed through the Ethernet port of the
unit, of through the GSM interface.
4.1 Console login via SSH and the Ethernet port (CLI)
Connecting via SSH is usually a simple procedure, but requires some knowledge of how to
configure the network settings of your desktop or laptop PC. When the G-router ships, the unit
has been configured with a fixed IP address. In order to log in to the G-router you can connect a
laptop or desktop computer to the Ethernet port of the unit. In case you connect a computer
directly to the G-router please make sure you use a cross Ethernet cable.
The default IP address of the G-router is set to 192.168.168.1
After configuring your PC to be able to contact the G-router, you can login using your favorite
SSH client. SSH clients can be downloaded from for example
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
the PuTTY client will be used. Consult your SSH client documentation if you use a different SSH
client.
SSH is used as the default network shell login protocol because it is a secure protocol, unlike the
more commonly used Telnet. All communication between a client and server is encrypted before
being sent over the network, thus packet sniffers are unable to extract usernames, passwords,
and other potentially sensitive data. If you don't have an SSH client, a number of good free or
low-cost options are available. For Unix, Linux, and Cygwin Windows environments, check out
OpenSSH. For Windows consider PuTTY, an excellent free SSH client for all Win32 platforms.
To connect to your G-router for the first time using the PuTTY client, start the client from the
Windows START menu. Enter the IP address, User Name (admin) and port number (22) for the
G-router in the dialogue box:
Host Name: 192.168.168.1
User Name: admin
Port Number: 22
Then click the Open button
When connected the unit prompts you to enter a username and a password:
login as: admin
root@192.168.168.1's password:
The default password of the unit is set to 'rfi123'.
