Introduction

You can set up, manage, monitor, and troubleshoot the router using the

command line interface (CLI) or the web-based GUI. The GUI includes the

commonly-required functions for a number of protocols. You can access the

GUI using HTTP, for local or remote access or HTTPS, for secure remote access

GUIs are available on the AR725, AR745, AR750S and AR750S-DP. No GUI is

available on the AR770S.

This section describes the basic functionality of the GUI, including:

■ What is the GUI?

• an introduction to the Graphical User Interface

■ Accessing the router via the GUI:

• browser and PC setup, including interaction with HTTP proxy servers

• establishing a connection to your router, including information about

configuring SSL for secure access

• the System Status page, the first GUI page you see

• diagnosing and solving connection problems

■ Using the GUI: navigation and features:

• an overview of the menus

• using configuration pages, with a description of key elements of GUI

pages

• combining GUI and CLI configuration

See Chapter 1, Getting Started for information about

What is the GUI?

The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is a web-based device management tool

designed to make it easier to configure and monitor the router. The GUI

provides an alternative to the CLI (Command Line Interface). Its purpose is to

make complicated tasks simpler and regularly performed tasks quicker.

The GUI relies on an HTTP server that runs on the router, and a web browser

on the host PC. When you use the GUI to configure the router, the GUI sends

commands to the router and the router sends the results back to your browser,

all via HTTP.

The tasks you may perform using the GUI are not as comprehensive as the

command set available on the CLI, but for some protocols, a few clicks of the

mouse are adequate. An example is the ease with which you can configure an

ISDN link.

The GUI is stored on the router in the form of an embedded resource file, with

an .rsc file extension. Resource files are model-specific, with the model and

version encoded in the file name.
