Web-Based Management; Accessing The Web Manager - D-Link DSL-504 User Manual

Web-based Management

The DSL-504 offers a web-based (HTML) graphical user interface allowing users
to manage the Router from anywhere on the network using a standard browser,
software such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The web
browser is used for direct communication with the Router using HTTP protocol.
Your browser window may not appear exactly with the screen captures (pictures)
in this guide.
Note: Be sure that the Manager PC is not configured to use a proxy server in the Internet
settings. In Windows Internet Explorer, you can check if a proxy server is enabled using the
following procedure:
9. In Windows, click on the START button, go to Settings and choose Control
Panel.
10. In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Internet Options icon.
11. Click the Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button.
12. Verify that the "Use proxy server" option is NOT checked. If it is checked,
click in the checked box to deselect the option and click OK.

Accessing the Web Manager

In order to access the web-based management interface it will be necessary to
have both the Manager PC and the Router on the same IP subnet. If the Manager
PC is configured as a DHCP client, the Router will automatically assign IP
settings. If you choose to disable the DHCP function, it will be necessary to either
change the IP settings of the PC or change the IP address of the Router. See
Chapter 6 for information about assigning IP addresses on the network and
changing the IP address of the device.
To use the web-based management software simply run the browser you have
installed on your computer and point it to the IP address defined for the device.
The first time you access the web-based manager you will need to type the
default IP address, 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of the browser. The URL in the
address bar should read: http://192.168.0.1. If you change the IP address you will
use the new IP address to access the web-based manager.
