Configure using the GUI
This section describes how to access the GUI via the Ethernet0 port, when the
PC and the AR725 or AR745 router are in the same subnet, in order to
configure the router.
The GUI requires a PC and web browser. Supported browsers are Internet
Explorer 5.0 and greater and Netscape 6.2.2 or greater, with JavaScript enabled.
If you are using a toolbar or plug-in on your browser to block pop-ups, disable it
while using the GUI. The GUI displays detailed configuration options and
information in pop-up windows.
1. Connect the PC to the router Ethernet port.
The PC can be connected directly, or through your LAN.
• To connect the PC directly to the router, use a straight-through Ethernet
cable to connect an Ethernet card on the PC to the router’s Ethernet0
port (see below). Note the PC’s IP address and mask. (You can browse to
the router through any ETH port, as long as you give that interface an IP
address. These instructions assume you will use Eth0 as the LAN
interface.)
• To connect via a LAN, use an Ethernet cable to connect the router’s
Ethernet0 port to the device on the LAN (see the following figure). Select
the LAN PC from which you wish to configure the router. The PC should
be in the same subnet as the part of the LAN that contains the router (for
example, the PC could be connected to a hub or Layer 2 switch that is
directly connected to the router’s Ethernet0 port). Note the PC’s IP
address and mask.
