NOTE: The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. If
the IP address has been changed using DHCP or

address instead of the default.
The first time you open the web-based utility, enter admin
(the default username) in the Username field and enter
admin in the Password field. Click the OK button. You can
change the password later from the Administration tab's
Management screen.

After you log in, the web-based utility starts. The utility's
main functions are indicated by eight tabs that appear
at the top of each screen: Setup, Firewall, VPN, QoS,
Administration, IPS, L2 Switch, and Status. After you
select a tab, a list of that tab's screens is displayed below
the tab bar. To perform a specific function, you select a
tab, then select the appropriate screen. By default, the
Setup tab's Summary screen is the first screen displayed
following login.
