5 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 8 shows the setup for accessing the MS/TP network using the

BASRTP-B, a computer for configuration, and a connection to the

MS/TP network. Make sure that a USB cable connects between the PC

and the BASRTP-B so it can be powered.
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 9 — which employs a Windows

®

XP example.

The example in Figure 9 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.
