Chapter 3 Configuration and Management
This chapter describes how to configure and manage the router.
3.1 Configuration Connection
Before configuration, you should connect the router with your configuration PC
with the supplied network cable. Plug the cable’s one end into the LAN port (ETH) of
the router, and another end into your configure PC’s Ethernet port. The connection
diagram is as following:
Please modify the IP address of PC as the same 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 (192.168.1.2).
3.2 Access the Configuration Web Page
Start a web browser and type 192.168.1.2 in the Address (URL) field (The
Default IP Address of the Ethernet port is 192.168.1.2). It will prompt a login page.
The default username and password are both “admin”. Please input the username and
password login to access the configuration pages.
3.3 Configuration
3.3.1 Welcome

Keep Online Detection
This function is used to detect whether the Internet connection is active, if you set it
and when the router detect the connection is inactive ,it will redial to you ISP
immediately to make the connection active.
Detection Method:
None: do not set this function
Ping: Send ping packet to detect the connection, when choose this method, you
should also configure "Detection Interval", "Primary Detection Server IP" and
"Backup Detection Server IP" items.
Route: Detect connection with route method, when choose this method, you should
also configure "Detection Interval", "Primary Detection Server IP" and
"Backup Detection Server IP" items.
PPP: Detect connection with PPP method, when choose this method, you should
also configure "Detection Interval" item.
Detection Interval: The time interval between two detections, unit is second
Primary Detection Server IP: The server used to response the router’s detection packet.
This item is only valid for method "Ping" and "Route".
Backup Detection Server IP: The server used to response the router’s detection packet.
This item is valid for method "Ping" and "Route".
Note: When you choose the “Route” or “Ping” method, it’s quite important to make
sure that the “Primary Detection Server IP” and “Backup Detection Server IP” are
usable and stable, because they have to response the detection packet frequently.
3.3.3 LAN Settings
