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

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.

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.
