Once you have established an Ethernet link to the router, there are three
methods you can use to access the router.

HTTP Web-browser Access

Most HTML browsers can be used, though Internet Explorer 4.0 or
Netscape 4.0 are recommended. IE 2.0 and Netscape 2.0 and their
predecessors are not supported. The HTML interface can be used to access
the LAN (or WAN) IP address or it can be used with FTP to upload and
download files to and from the router.

To log on to the modem via HTML:

1

Bring up your favorite web browser.

2

Enter the Ethernet IP address of the router (

10.0.0.1

or

Speedstream

)

in the “Location” or “Address” area where you enter web page
addresses.

3

Refer to “HTML Web Interface” on page 20.

TELNET Access

From the local area network you can use TELNET to log in using the
Ethernet IP address. Or, if the unit is configured as a router, it can be
accessed from the WAN using the DSL/WAN IP address. Initially out of
the box, the router has no WAN IP address so only the Ethernet address
can be used for remote access on initial startup.

To log on to the modem via TELNET:
