Chapter 2: Getting Started
2.1 Web Configuration
STEP 1:
Connect both the Administrator’s PC and the LAN port of the Multi-Homing Security Gateway to a hub or
switch. Make sure there is a link light on the hub/switch for both connections. The Multi-Homing Security
Gateway has an embedded web server used for management and configuration. Use a web browser to
display the configurations of the Multi-Homing Security Gateway (such as Internet Explorer 4(or above) or
Netscape 4.0(or above) with full java script support). The default IP address of the Multi-Homing Security
Gateway is 192.168.1.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Therefore, the IP address of the Administrator
PC must be in the range between 192.168.1.2– 192.168.1.254
If the company’s LAN IP Address is not subnet of 192.168.1.0, (i.e. LAN IP Address is 172.16.0.1), then the
Administrator must change his/her PC IP address to be within the same range of the LAN subnet (i.e.
172.16.0.2). Reboot the PC if necessary.
By default, the Multi-Homing Security Gateway is shipped with its DHCP Server function enabled. This means
the client computers on the LAN network including the Administrator PC can set their TCP/IP settings to
automatically obtain an IP address from the Multi-Homing Security Gateway.
STEP 2:
Once the Administrator PC has an IP address as the same network as the Multi-Homing Security Gateway,
open up an Internet web browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
A pop-up screen will appear and prompt for a username and password. A username and password is required
to connect to the Multi-Homing Security Gateway. Enter the default login username and password of
Administrator (see below).
Username: admin
Password: admin
Click OK.
