Configuration Wizard
3 Configuration Wizard
This chapter describes how to access the built-in Configuration tool and run
the Configuration Wizard in order to perform the initial configuration.
3.1 Introduction
The HM410dp is an advanced ADSL router with several features and
supported modes that make it ideal for advanced home networking. The
HM410dp offers a Configuration Wizard that enables you to easily
configure the HM410dp through a user friendly GUI. No special software is
required on your PC to manage and operate the HM410dp. All you need is
a web browser.
In the Configuration Wizard you can just select an Internet Access mode
that fits your needs according to information from your ISP.
The HM410dp still offers the possibility for advanced users to set up special
network scenarios themselves or to modify the existing ones. Refer to
chapter 5 - “Advanced Setup” for further information.
3.2 Access the Configuration Wizard
Follow the steps below to access the built-in Configuration tool and start the
Configuration Wizard.
Note: Before performing the following steps make sure that all the steps
in section 2.4 - ”Installation” has been performed.
1 Start your web browser and type http://192.168.1.1 (the IP address for
the HM410dp) in the URL field and hit Enter.
2 To access the Configuration tool you have to login and the following
window is displayed:

the wizard:
1553-ZAT 759 94 Uen B – July 2005 9

Configuration Wizard
You can access the Internet in one of several ways depending on the
service provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The HM410dp
supports eight types of Internet access that can be setup through this
wizard and each one is described in detail in the following subsections.
Note: Your ISP may have limited the selectable modes to a subset of the
total.
3.2.1 DHCP (Ericsson-MER)
The DHCP (Ericsson-MER) mode is a bridge-router access type meaning
that the HM410dp operates as a bridge to the WAN side while
simultaneously operates as a router to the LAN side.
This access type is “Always On” meaning that you are automatically
connected to your ISP whenever you use your Internet connection. The
HM410dp automatically activates the NAT service that will route the traffic
to/from the WAN and its internal DHCP server that will assign private IP
addresses to the PCs on the LAN.
This access type can be used for triple play scenarios and some Ericsson
specific features are used so the HM410dp will only have one WAN IP
address also in these scenarios.
To configure the HM410dp for DHCP (Ericsson-MER) access mode, follow
the steps below:
1 From the Start page, click the Configuration Wizard > button to display
the following page:
10 1553-ZAT 759 94 Uen B – July 2005

Configuration Wizard
2 Select DHCP (Ericsson-MER) and click the Next> button. The
following page appears:
3 Click the Confirm Changes> button to save this setting or click Cancel
to exit the Wizard without any changes done.
3.2.2 DHCP (MER)
The DHCP (MER) mode is a bridge-router access type meaning that the
HM410dp operates as a bridge to the WAN side while simultaneously
operates as a router to the LAN side.
This access type is “Always On” meaning that you are automatically
connected to your ISP whenever you use your Internet connection. The
HM410dp automatically activates the NAT service that will route the traffic
to/from the WAN and its internal DHCP server that will assign private IP
addresses to the PCs on the LAN.
This access type can be used for triple play scenarios.
1553-ZAT 759 94 Uen B – July 2005 11

Configuration Wizard
To configure the HM410dp for DHCP (MER) access mode, follow the steps
below:
1 From the Start page, click the Configuration Wizard > button to display
the following page:
2 Select DHCP (MER) and click the Next> button. The Confirm page for
Internet access appears:
3 Click the Confirm Changes> button to proceed or click Cancel to exit
the Wizard without saving any settings.
3.2.3 DHCP (Bridged)
By using the DHCP (Bridged) mode the HM410dp will act as a bridge,
meaning that the routing functionality (Firewall, NAT, UPnP, etc) will be
disabled. This access type is suitable if you only want to connect a single
computer to the Internet and want to perform all special functionality in the
computer instead of the built-in capabilities of the HM410dp.
This access type is “Always on” meaning that you is automatically
connected to your ISP whenever you use your Internet connection.
12 1553-ZAT 759 94 Uen B – July 2005

Configuration Wizard
This access type can be used for triple play scenarios.
Note: If your ISP uses PPPoE you must have a PPPoE client software
installed on your PC.
To configure the HM410dp for DHCP (Bridged) access mode, follow the
steps below:
1 From the Start page, click the Configuration Wizard > button to display
the following page:
2 Select DHCP (Bridged) and click the Next> button. The Confirm page
for Internet access appears:
3 Click the Confirm Changes> button to proceed or click Cancel to exit
the Wizard without saving any settings.
3.2.4 PPPoE
The PPPoE (or dial-up) access mode is used by the ISP to identify users
and allow them access to the Internet. You have to enter a valid Username
and Password provided by your ISP. Once you have entered your
Username and Password within the Wizard, the HM410dp will automatically
connect to your ISP whenever you use your Internet connection.
1553-ZAT 759 94 Uen B – July 2005 13

Configuration Wizard
The “On-Line Time” column on the Welcome page indicates the time you
have been online and when the connection is disconnected the counter will
stop and be reset.
The HM410dp automatically activates the NAT service that will route the
traffic to/from the WAN and its internal DHCP server that will assign private
IP addresses to the PCs on the LAN.
Note: If you already have PPPoE client software installed on your
computer(s), you must uninstall it. This can be done after
completing this wizard.
To configure the HM410dp for PPPoE access mode, follow the steps
below:
1 From the Start page, click the Configuration Wizard > button to display
the following page:
2 Select PPPoE and click the Next> button. The following page
appears:
