B.2 Problems Accessing Router

If you have problems accessing the router, please check the following:

1. Can you ping 192.168.123.254? If so, disable the proxy in your browser's

setting.

2. If http://192.168.123.254 does not work, try http://192.168.123.254:88.
3. If you are unable to ping the router, do the following:
a. Check configuration of the computer. It must be on the same subnet as

the router. (192.168.123.xxx) If not, refer to Chapter 3 (Configuring DHCP
for Macintosh Clients) or Chapter 4 (Configuring DHCP for Windows Cli-
ents) on how to configure TCP/IP for your computers.

b. Check the Link LEDs of the computer’s network adapter port and the

corresponding router port to be sure they are on. If not, check the Ethernet
cable(s).

c. FR3004C or FR3004LC Only: Connect a serial cable from the com-

puter to the router’s COM port. Using terminal emulation software, enter the
console mode. Reset the router’s IP address. See Chapter 11.3 for details
on the console mode.
