Configuring the
Router
Router Configuration
The 5600 unit can be used as either a router or a bridge. The following
instructions are for configuring the 5600 in router mode (default
configuration). To configure the 5600 in bridge mode, refer to “Bridge
Configuration”on page 18.
NOTE: In the factory configuration, the user interface can only be
accessed from the LAN or via the serial port. Advanced users can also
use Telnet or a web browser from the WAN side once they have
allowed WAN access to router servers. The 5600 uses a feature called
network address port translation (NAPT) to control access to the
router and the LAN from the WAN. See the “Advanced Setup”
portion of the web-based management interface for instructions on
setting up NAPT to enable WAN-side access.
Step 1: Assign an IP Address to your PC
Using DHCP to Assign an IP Address
Before you can use your computer over a network, it must have an IP
address. The router contains a dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP) server that will automatically assign an IP address to the PC if the
PC is set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. If you have set up
your router and computer according to the installation instructions, follow
these steps to get an IP address via DHCP if you are running a PC with
Windows 95/98:
1Select Start > Settings > Control Panel
2Double click the Network icon
3Select TCP/IP from the list of network components. Select Properties.
4Select the IP Address tab and verify that Obtain an IP address
automatically is selected. If not, then click this button.

14 Router Configuration Efficient Networks
5Click OK twice.
Manually Assigning an IP Address
If you prefer, you can also specify an address manually.
•IP address range 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.254
•Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0
•Default gateway: 10.0.0.1
Step 2: Setting the Password
The router has no password protection as configured from the factory. As
soon as you log into the router, you should set the password. This can be
done in one of two ways:
•from the web interface by clicking on the “Set Password” link
•from the command line interface using the set password command
Password protection can be disabled again by entering the current
password and a blank for the new password. If the password is forgotten,
the router can be set to the factory default state from the serial port during
the boot process. Refer to “Restoring the Factory Default Configuration”
on page 30 for more information on this procedure.
NOTE: It is wise to restrict physical access to the router to prevent the
accidental or malicious defaulting of your configuration.
Step 3: Configuring the Router
Once your PC has an IP address, you can configure the router using either
the web interface or the command line interface.
Configuring the Router through the Web Interface
NOTE: Consult your service provider for your encapsulation type.
Creating a Virtual Circuit using PPP Encapsulation (default):
1Start your web browser
2Enter the router’s IP address: 10.0.0.1

Efficient Networks Router Configuration 15
3The browser displays the router’s management interface.
4On the main page, click on Simple Setup.
5If your service provider has specified a VPI/VCI number to use, enter
the numbers in the VPI and VCI fields.
6Enter the PPP Username and Password issued by your service
provider.
7Click the Set button. This will set the new VPI/VCI parameters on the
router. Refer to “Web Interface”on page 25 for more information on
configuring the router via the web interface.
Creating a Virtual Circuit using RFC 1483 Encapsulation:
1Start your web browser
2Enter the router’s IP address: 10.0.0.1
3On the main page, look in the Configuration Summary table and click
on the title Encapsulation Protocol.
4Click the button for the type of virtual connection (VC) you want to
create.
5If your service provider has specified a different VPI/VCI number to
use, enter the numbers in the VPI and VCI fields. Otherwise, enter the
default VPI and VCI values.
6Select the desired RFC 1483 multiplexing method (LLC or VCMUX).
7Select Max as the rate.
8If you are not using DHCP, enter an IP address and a default gateway
that is on the same IP subnet as the WAN IP.
9Click the Submit button to set new parameters or select Default VC to
reset the default configuration for the selected encapsulation protocol.
10 When the response appears at the bottom of the screen, it may
include a link that says “REBOOT REQUIRED”. If so, click on that
link and choose yes to reboot the router.
