Multi-homing security gateway

4. Quick Setup

4.1 Web Configuration

STEP 1:

Connect both the Administrator's PC and the LAN port of the MH-2001 to a hub

or switch. Make sure there is a link light on the hub/switch for both connections.

The MH-2001 has an embedded web server used for management and configura-

tion. Use a web browser to display the configurations of the MH-2001 (such as

Internet Explorer 4(or above) or Netscape 4.0(or above) with full java script sup-

port). The default IP address of the MH-2001 is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0. Therefore, the IP address of the Administrator PC must be in the

range between 192.168.1.2– 192.168.1.254

If the company's LAN IP Address is not subnet of 192.168.1.0, (Ex. LAN IP Address

is 172.16.0.1), then the Administrator must change his/her PC IP address to be

within the same range of the LAN subnet. Reboot the PC if necessary.

By default, the MH-2001 is shipped with its DHCP Server function enabled. This

means the client computers on the LAN network including the Administrator PC can

set their TCP/IP settings to automatically obtain an IP address from the MH-2001.

The following table is a list of private IP addresses. These addresses may not be

used as a WAN IP address.

10.0.0.0 ~ 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 ~ 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 ~ 192.168.255.255
