3.7.2 Accessing the Web-based Management
The Web-based management (WBM) allows you to control various system parameters, using a
user-friendly graphical interface. The Web-based management includes a connection wizard, a
graphic network map, multiple sessions, authentication data kept on router, multiple user support,
multilingual support, a connection diagnostics screen and more.
To access the Web-based management:
1) Launch a Web-browser on a PC in the LAN.
2) Type the router's IP address or name as provided with your router in the address bar (Internet
Explorer) or location bar (Firefox). The default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
3) Enter your username and password to log on to the WBM. For security reasons, you should
change these settings after the initial login. The default user name and password are:
• User name: admin
• Password: admin
The session will automatically time-out after a few minutes of inactivity. If you try to operate the
Web-based management after the session has expired the 'Login screen will appear and you will
have to reenter your user name and password before proceeding. This feature helps to prevent un-
authorized users from accessing the web-based management and changing Watson SHDSL
router's settings.
Refer to the “Watson SHDSL Router GUI Manual” [1]to know how to configure the Watson SHDSL
router using the Web-based management interface.
3.7.3 Management VLAN configuration
Watson SHDSL router supports Ethernet inband management, i.e. it is possible to manage the
router through the Ethernet user interfaces or through the Ethernet payload carried over the DSL.
To configure Ethernet inband management and to isolate management traffic from user traffic a
dedicated management VLAN interface has to be set up.
To access the management VLAN interface from a user interface the Ethernet ports of the Switch
(ETH1 .. ETH8 and Trunk) and the LAN port of the router (LAN) have to be member of the man-
agement VLAN.
To access the management VLAN interface through the DSL Ethernet payload the WAN port of the
router has to be member of the management VLAN.
3.8 DSL Performance Monitoring
Watson SHDSL router support DSL performance monitoring as specified in G.SHDSL standard.
The DSL performance parameters provide quantitative performance information of a specific DSL
link. They are intended to be used for long-term evaluation of operating DSL links.
The DSL statistics are available with the “shdsl statistic show” command and in the Web-base man-
agement.
3.9 Password protection
Watson SHDSL router feature password protection to management functions to prevent unauthor-
ized access e.g. on a modem that is installed at a customer site but is owned and managed by the
service provider.
