CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT
This chapter describes how to congure and manage the router.
1. Conguration Connection
Before conguration, you should connect the router and your PC with the supplied network cable. Plug
the cable’s one end into the Local Network port of the router, and another end into your PC’s Ethernet
port.
The connection diagram is as following:
Diagram
Please modify the IP address of PC the same as network segment address of the router, for instance,
192.168.1.9. Modify the mask code of PC as 255.255.255.0 and set the default gateway of PC as the
router’s IP address (192.168.1.1).
