Connecting to the Gateway’s Main Menu
If you are unable to access the gateway’s main menu from a computer on your local network,
check the following:
Check the Ethernet connection between the compu
ter and the gateway as described in the
previous section.
Make sure that your PC’s IP address is on the same subnet as the
gateway. If you are using the
recommended addressing scheme, your PC’s address should be in the range of 192.168.0.10 to
192.168.0.254. Refer to the link to the online document “ITCP/IP Networking Basics” in
Appendix B for help configuring your computer.
Note: If your PC’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x:
Recent versions of Windows and MacOS will generat
e and assign an IP
address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These auto-generated
addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range,
check the connection from the PC to the gateway and reboot your PC.
If your gateway’s IP address has been chang
ed and you don’t know the current IP address,
clear the gateway’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the gateway’s IP address to
192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in “Enabling Remote Management” on page 5-13.
Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you
are using Internet
Explorer, click Refresh to make sure that the Java applet is loaded.
Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
Make sure you are using the correct login information
. The gateway has two user names both
lower-case (Caps Lock should be off):
The superuser login name is mso
with the default password of changeme.
The other login name is ad
min with the default password of password.
If the gateway does not save changes you have made, check the following:
When entering configuration sett
ings, be sure to click the Apply button before moving to
another screen, or your changes are lost.
Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web
browser. The changes may have occurred, but
the Web browser may be caching the old configuration.
