Chapter 3 Web User Interface

This section describes how to access the device via the web user interface (WUI) using an Internet browser such as Internet Explorer (version 5.0 and later).

3.1 Default Settings

The factory default settings of this device are summarized below.

 LAN IP address: 192.168.1.1

 LAN subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

 Administrative access (username: root , password: 12345 )

 User access (username: user , password: user )

 Remote (WAN) access (username: support , password: support )

 WLAN access: enabled

Technical Note

During power on, the device initializes all settings to default values. It will then read the configuration profile from the permanent storage section of flash memory.

The default attributes are overwritten when identical attributes with different values are configured. The configuration profile in permanent storage can be created via the web user interface or telnet user interface, or other management protocols.

The factory default configuration can be restored either by pushing the reset button for more than ten seconds until the power indicates LED blinking or by clicking the

Restore Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings screen.
