Appendix A Web Based Setup

Overview

The ISDN Internet Router incorporates a HTTP server. This allows you to connect to it, and configure it, using your Web Browser. Most browsers will work, provided they support HTML tables and forms.

A single Setup screen must be configured to make the ISDN Internet Router operational.

Connecting to the ISDN Internet Router

1. Check the LAN:

Since configuration uses the LAN connection, the ISDN Internet Router must be installed on your LAN first, and powered ON.
If the ISDN Internet Router's default IP Address (192.168.0.1) is already used by another device, the other device must be turned OFF until the ISDN Internet Router is allocated a new IP Address during configuration.
If your LAN has an existing DHCP Server, set DIP switch 2 ON to disable the DHCP Server in the ISDN Internet Router.

2. Check the TCP/IP settings on your PC:

For Windows 95/98/NT, use Start - Settings - Control Panel - Network to view a screen like the following:

Figure 1: Network Configuration tab
If a line like the one highlighted ("TCP/IP -> Network Card") is not listed, select Add - Protocol - Microsoft - TCP/IP - OK to add it.
Select Properties for the "TCP/IP -> Network card" entry. You will then see the IP Address screen like the following example:

Figure 2: TCP/IP Properties - IP Address Tab
Select the radio button "Specify an IP Address"
Set the IP Address to an unused value in the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254, and set the Network Mask to 255.255.255.0
These values are compatible with the ISDN Internet Router's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1 and Network Mask (Subnet mask) of 255.255.255.0
Restart (reboot) your PC.

3. Connect to the ISDN Internet Router

Start your Web Browser.
In the Address field, enter the following:

http://192.168.0.1

If a password has been set for the ISDN Internet Router, you will be prompted for the password, as shown below. (If no password has been set, you will not see this dialog box.)

Figure 3: Password Dialog

Leave the "User Name" blank, and enter the password you assigned to the ISDN Internet Router.
You should then see the Setup screen.

If you can't connect:

If the ISDN Internet Router does not respond, check the following:

The ISDN Internet Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON.
Ensure that your PC and the ISDN Internet Router are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
Ensure that your PC is using an IP Address within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus compatible with the ISDN Internet Router's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, check that the Network Mask is set to 255.255.255.0

Data - Setup Screen

Internet Account Details (from ISP)
Account (User) Name	Enter the account name provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). This name will be used to log in to the ISP. s server.
Account Password	Enter the current password for the above account.
Verify	Re-enter the password to ensure it is correct.
IP Address from ISP	Dynamic is the most common; an IP Address is assigned when you connect. If Fixed, enter the IP address assigned to you by your ISP.
DNS IP Address	The DNS (Domain Name Server) translates names (e.g. microsoft.com) to IP Addresses. Enter the DNS IP address supplied or recommended by your ISP.
Telephone	Enter the telephone number used to connect to your ISP.
ISDN Details (from Telephone Company)
Country	Select your country from the drop-down list. Note that there are 5 entries for the USA. If in the USA, select the entry to match the "Switch Type" used by your telephone company.
SPID (1^st B Channel)	If you live in the USA, enter the SPID (Service Profile Identifier) provided by your phone company. The most common format for the SPID is 10 digits (area code + local number) for the phone number, followed by 4 digits for the device ID. e.g. 555-555-1234-0101 Where 555-555-1234 is the phone number, and 0101 is the device ID. However, there is wide variation in SPID formats, and you must use the method advised by your phone company. If your telephone company did not provide this information, leave this blank.
SPID (2^ndB Channel)	Enter the SPID for the 2^nd B Channel. (See above)
LAN Settings
IP Address Network Mask	These setings depend on your LAN environment: If you use the built-in DHCP server (recommended): Usually, no changes are required on this screen. However, all devices on your LAN must either be a DHCP Client OR use a compatible IP Address and Network mask. If your LAN already has a DHCP server: If not already done, set DIP switch 2 ON to disable the DHCP server in the ISDN Internet Router. Assign the ISDN Internet Router an unused IP Address within the address range used on your LAN. (Do not use an IP Address allocated by the DHCP Server; doing so will cause an IP Address conflict.) The Network Mask must be the same as the value used by the DHCP server. If your LAN uses static (fixed) IP Addresses: Give the ISDN Internet Router a unique IP Address chosen from the address range used by PCs on your LAN. The ISDN Internet Router's Network Mask must be the same value as PCs on your LAN.

Once setup is complete:

Restart the ISDN Internet Router by disconnecting and reconnecting the power.
Configure each PC, including the one used for this setup procedure.
You can use the Status screen to check on the ISDN Internet Router and ISDN connection status.
