Configuration Program

The VPN Broadband Router contains an HTTP server. This enables you to connect to it, and configure it, using your
Web Browser. Your Browser must support JavaScript. The configuration program has been tested on the following
browsers:

Netscape V4.08 or later

Internet Explorer V4 or later

Preparation

Before attempting to configure the VPN Broadband Router, please ensure that:

Your PC can establish a physical connection to the VPN Broadband Router. The PC and the VPN Broadband
Router must be directly connected (using the Hub ports on the VPN Broadband Router) or on the same LAN seg-
ment.

The VPN Broadband Router must be installed and powered ON.

If the VPN Broadband Router's default IP Address (192.168.0.1) is already used by another device, the other
device must be turned OFF until the VPN Broadband Router is allocated a new IP Address during configuration.
Using UPnP
If your Windows system supports UPnP, an icon for the VPN Broadband Router will appear in the system tray, notifying
you that a new network device has been found, and offering to create a new desktop shortcut to the newly-discovered
device.

Unless you intend to change the IP Address of the VPN Broadband Router, you can accept the desktop shortcut.

Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can always find UPnP devices in My Network Places (pre-
viously called Network Neighborhood).

Double - click the icon for the VPN Broadband Router (either on the Desktop, or in My Network Places) to start the
configuration. Refer to the following section Setup Wizard for details of the initial configuration process.
Using your Web Browser
To establish a connection from your PC to the VPN Broadband Router:
1. After installing the VPN Broadband Router in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is already running, restart it.
2. Start your WEB browser.
3. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of the VPN Broadband Router, as in this example, which
uses the VPN Broadband Router 's default IP Address:
HTTP://192.168.0.1
Where use of a certain feature requires that
PCs or other LAN devices be configured, this
is also explained in the relevant chapter.
