6.0 BASIC CONFIGURATION
Now that you have completed the configuration of TCP/IP addresses on the client
computer(s), you may begin configuring the XRouter Aero’s Internet settings. This
can be done through a standard Web browser (such as Netscape Navigator 4.7 or
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and higher).
6.1 ISP Connection Types
Before you begin with setting the XRouter Aero configuration, you must verify that
you have one of the following ISP connections:
Static: If your connection is static, your ISP has provided you with the
necessary values for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway/Router
Address and Domain Name Server addresses.
These would have been configured in the TCP/IP control panel for your
computer to connect to the Internet directly through the modem.
Dynamic: The XRouter Aero, by default, is configured for a dynamic
connection and can dynamically obtain a WAN IP Address from the ISP so
there is no further configuration needed. Although, we suggest inputting the
DNS numbers into both the TCP/IP control panel of the computer and the
DNS fields on the One Page Setup screen. If you do not have these DNS
numbers, you can obtain them from your ISP.
PPPoE:
Dynamic PPPoE: The majority of PPPoE connections are dynamic and only
require the configuration of the PPPoE section. However, we do suggest
inputting the DNS numbers into both the TCP/IP control panel of the
computer and the DNS fields on the One Page Setup screen. Such ISPs
using PPPoE are PacBell, BellAtlantic, BellSouth, Southwestern Bell, Bell
Sympatico, Earthlink/Mindspring among others.
Static PPPoE: If your service is Static PPPoE, you will need to input the
static values into the One Page Setup and then continue on to configure the
PPPoE section. However, this type of account is uncommon.
NOTE: Some cable modem ISPs (i.e. Media One, Time Warner, Roadrunner) may
require a MAC Address (hardware address of a network device) to be registered. In
this case, you will need to provide the Public IP MAC Address to your ISP found on
the One Page Setup screen. See the FAQs on our website for further detail. To access
the XRouter Aero’s One Page Setup screen, follow the instructions below.
6.2 Access the Web-Based Config Pages
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. In the URL field, type the XRouter Aero's default IP address (192.168.1.1)
and hit Enter/Return on the keyboard. This is the area where you would
normally enter a Web site address such as “www.macsense.com”. There
must be no Proxy settings configured in your browser preferences.
3. The Username and Password window will then appear. Leave the Username
field blank and type “admin“ as the default password for the XRouter Aero. If
