Overview
Follow the steps in this chapter and use the Gateway’s Web-based utility to configure the Gateway. This chapter
will describe each web page in the Utility and each page’s key functions. The utility can be accessed via your Web
browser through use of a computer connected to the Gateway. For a basic network setup, most users only have to
use the following screens of the Utility:

•
Management. Click the Administration tab and then the Management tab. The Gateway’s default username
and password is admin. To secure the Gateway, change the Password from its default.

and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
