Verify the installation. See

Verifying Correct Installation

on page 49.

Register the STM. See

Registering the STM with NETGEAR

Each of these tasks is described separately in this chapter.

Qualified Web Browsers

To configure the STM, you need to use a Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer

5.1 or later, Mozilla Firefox l.x or later, or Apple Safari 1.2 or later with JavaScript, cookies, and SSL enabled.

Although these Web browsers are qualified for use with the STM’s Web Management

Interface, SSL VPN users should choose a browser that supports JavaScript, Java, cookies,

SSL, and ActiveX to take advantage of the full suite of applications. Note that Java is required only for the SSL VPN portal, not for the Web Management Interface.

Logging In to the STM

To connect to the STM, your computer needs to be configured to obtain an IP address automatically from the STM via DHCP. For instructions on how to configure your computer for

DHCP, see the document that you can access from

Preparing Your Network

in Appendix C.

To connect and log in to the STM:

1.

Start any of the qualified browsers, as explained in

Qualified Web Browsers

on this

page.

2.

Enter https://192.168.1.201 in the address field. https://192.168.1.201

Figure 14.

Note:

The STM factory default IP address is 192.168.1.201. If you change the IP address, you need to use the IP address that you assigned to the STM to log in to the STM.

The NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen displays in the browser (see the following figure, which shows the STM300).

In the User Name field, type admin. Use lowercase letters.

4.

In the Password field, type password. Here, too, use lowercase letters.

Note:

The STM user name and password are not the same as any user name or password you might use to log in to your Internet connection.

Note:

The first time that you remotely connect to the STM with a browser via an SSL VPN connection, you might get a warning message regarding the SSL certificate. If you are using a Windows computer with Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, simply click Yes to accept the certificate. Other browsers provide you with similar options to accept and install the SSL certificate.

If you connect to the STM through the User Portal Login screen (see

Figure 88

on page 156), you can import the STM’s root certificate by

clicking the link at the bottom of the screen.

3rd level: Submenu tab (blue)

2nd level: Configuration menu link (gray)

1st level: Main navigation menu link (orange)

Figure 17.

The Web Management Interface menu consists of the following components:

•

1st Level: Main navigation menu links. The main navigation menu in the orange bar

across the top of the Web Management Interface provides access to all the configuration functions of the STM, and remains constant. When you select a main navigation menu link, the letters are displayed in white against an orange background.

•

2nd Level: Configuration menu links. The configuration menu links in the gray bar

(immediately below the main navigation menu bar) change according to the main navigation menu link that you select. When you select a configuration menu link, the letters are displayed in white against a gray background.

•

3rd Level: Submenu tabs. Each configuration menu item has one or more submenu

tabs that are listed below the gray menu bar. When you select a submenu tab, the text is displayed in white against a blue background.

The bottom of each screen provides action buttons. The nature of the screen determines which action buttons are shown. The following figure shows an example:

Figure 18.

Any of the following action buttons might be displayed on screen (this list might not be complete):

•

Apply. Save and apply the configuration.

•

Reset. Reset the configuration to default values.

•
