6 Webpage Configuration

Each router contains an interactive web server, accessible from
any Internet-compatible PC on the local network and compatible
with recent versions of Internet Explorer (5.0 or later, suggested)
or Netscape Navigator (7.1 or later, required). It is factory-
programmed with a default IP address of 192.168.92.68 and a
Class C subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (/24).

Figure 12 shows the setup for accessing the MS/TP network using
BASRT-B, a computer for configuration, and a connection to the
MS/TP network.

To configure the router, attach it to a computer with an Ethernet
connection and a standard web browser. For initial configuration,
the PC chosen for the procedure should temporarily have its IP
address modified as illustrated in Figure 13 — which employs a
Windows

®

XP example.

The example in Figure 13 suggests an IP address for the PC of
192.168.92.69, but the final quad of the address could be any
value from 3 to 254 — except for 68 which is used by the router.
After the IP address of the PC has been set to the same subnet as
the router, a browser can access the router via its default IP address.
