Accessing the Router via the GUI

To use the GUI to configure the router, you use a web browser to open a

connection to the router’s HTTP server. Therefore, you need a PC, a web

browser and the router. Supported browsers and operating systems, and the

settings you need on your PC and browser, are detailed in the following

section. Router setup is detailed in “Establishing a Connection to the Router”

on page 3-5.

Browser and PC Setup

The GUI requires a web browser installed on a PC. Table 3-1 shows supported

combinations of operating system and browser.

JavaScript must be enabled. To enable JavaScript in Internet Explorer:

1. From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.

2. Select the Security tab.

3. Click the Custom Level button.

4. Under the Scripting section, ensure that “Active scripting” is enabled.

To enable JavaScript in Netscape 6.2.x:

1. From the Edit menu, select Preference.

2. Select the Advanced menu option.

3. Ensure that the “Enable JavaScript for Navigator” checkbox is checked.

The minimum screen resolution on the PC is 800x600.

Pop-up Windows

Pop-up windows must be allowed. If you are using a toolbar or plug-in on

your browser to block pop-ups, disable it while using the GUI. The GUI

displays detailed configuration options and information in pop-up windows.

Either turn the toolbar off or specify that pop-ups are allowed for the IP

address of the router. To turn off a toolbar on Internet Explorer 6, select

Toolbars from the View menu and make sure the toolbar is not checked.
