small-sized enterprise networks. With advanced software
architecture and hardware platform, the MSR 900 is designed to
provide a unified solution requiring a minimum investment, fully
meeting the challenges of future service expansion and conforming to
both the status quo and tendency of enterprise IT construction.
The MSR 900 series routers comprise wireless models (MSR 900W
and MSR 920W) and wired models (MSR 900 and MSR 920).

2 Cable Connection
Follow these steps to connect cables for the MSR 900:
Step1 Use a network cable to connect the uplink Ethernet interface (ETH 0
or ETH 1) to a WLAN access point.
Step2 Use network cables to connect the downlink Ethernet interfaces to the
Ethernet interfaces on user terminals.
Step3 Connect the power adapter to the power input.

This configuration example uses a user terminal running Windows XP
and Internet Explorer 6.0.
Logging In to the Web Interface
Follow these steps to log in to the Web interface for the first time:
Step1 Type the default IP address http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar and
press Enter to enter the page shown in
Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 Web login interface
Step2 Type the username, password (admin/admin by default) and verify
code and then click Login. After a successful verification, you can
enter the web configuration page shown in
Figure 3-2.

Network Access
Configuring Internet Access Through the Wizard
The wizard allows you to set the parameters for Internet access
quickly as following the system prompts.
Step1 Select Wizard > Basic Configuration Wizard from the navigation
tree in the configuration page to enter the welcome page shown in
Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 Basic configuration wizard

Step2 Click Next>> to enter the page displaying LAN interface parameters,
as shown in
Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4 LAN interface configuration page
z By default, all Ethernet interfaces belong to VLAN 1. Therefore,
you need to specify the IP address and mask of the device as the
IP address and subnet mask of VLAN 1.
z You can also configure the device to act as a DHCP server to
dynamically assign IP addresses for the terminals. To do this,
select the radio button before Enable in the page shown above
and type the address range of the DHCP address pool in the
Start IP Address and End IP Address fields.
The IP address of the device cannot be included in the DHCP
address pool.

z Type the IP address of the device in the Gateway IP Address
field to specify the device as a gateway. The gateway is
responsible for data forwarding when DHCP clients access
servers or hosts outside the current network segment. With the
gateway address specified for the address pool, the device acts
as the DHCP server and sends the gateway address together
with the IP addresses to the clients.
z To enable DHCP clients to access a host on the Internet via the
domain name, the DHCP server also sends IP addresses of two
DNS servers to the clients, with DNS server 1 in preference of
DNS server 2.
Step3 After configuring the parameters for the LAN interfaces, click Next>>
to enter the page for configuring the parameters for the WAN
interfaces, as shown in
Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5 WAN interface configuration page
z Set the WAN interface to Ethernet0/0 so that Ethernet 0/0
serves as the uplink interface for network access. Set the
Connect Mode to PPPoE.
z Enter the username and password for network access.

Step4 Click Next>> after the configurations to enter the page displaying the
configuration information, as shown in
Figure 3-6.

Step5 Click Finish if the configuration information is correct. The system
thus saves the configurations automatically. Click Close on the page
shown below to finish the operation.

Step1 Select Interface Setup > LAN Interface Setup from the navigation
tree and select the VLAN Interface Setup tab to enter the page
shown in
Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-8 VLAN interface configuration page
z By default, all Ethernet interfaces belong to VLAN 1. Therefore,
you need to specify the IP address and mask of the device as the
IP address and subnet mask of VLAN 1.
z You can also configure the device to act as a DHCP server to
dynamically assign IP addresses for the terminals. To do this,
select the radio button before Enable in the page above and type
the address range of the DHCP address pool in the Start IP
Address and End IP Address fields.
The IP address of the device cannot be included in the DHCP
address pool.
