Using the GUI to configure a router:
This section describes how to access the GUI via VLAN1, when the PC and
the router are in the same subnet, in order to configure the router. The
router's switch ports all belong to VLAN1 by default.
The GUI requires a PC and web browser. Supported browsers are Internet
Explorer 5.0 and greater, or Netscape 6.2.2 or 6.2.3, with JavaScript enabled.
Internet Explorer can be found on the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM
that is bundled with your router.
1.
Connect the PC to a router switch 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 any one of the router's
switch ports. Note the PC's IP address and mask.

To connect via a LAN, use an Ethernet cable to connect the router's switch
port(s) to the device(s) on the LAN. Connect AR410 and AR410S routers
through port 4 and ensure that the PC/hub switch is pressed in. 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 one of the router's switch ports). Note the PC's IP
address and mask.
