6. The Manager interface is accessible by a Telnet call from any TCP IP workstation on the LAN or the remote network In order to use the Telnet Protocol you must know the current IP address of the router The router is shippped with a default address of 192 168 0 1 To establish a Telnet connection from the LAN you must set up your workstation to reach the IP address of the router by doing one of the following Set your workstation to an IP address on the currently programmed subnet of the router Using the Manager Interface for Initial Router Configuration 7 1 Reference Guide for the Model RP114 Web Safe Router OR Add a route to the static routing table of the workstation to indicate that the router can be reached through the local LAN port To access the router by Telnet from a Windows PC 1 22 3 From the Windows toolbar select Start Select Run In the Open field type telnet 192 168 0 1 Click on OK The router should respond with a Password prompt Type the current password to access the Manager interface The default password is 1234 When using Telnet consider the following restrictions Single administrator To prevent confusion and discrepancy on the configuration the router allows only one Telnet connection at any time System timeout When you are connected to the router through Telnet there is a system timeout of 5 minutes 300 seconds If you are not configuring the device
7.

9. Troubleshooting the ISP Connection If your router is unable to access the Internet you should first determine whether the router is able to obtain a WAN IP address from the ISP Unless you have been assigned a static IP address your router must request an IP address from the ISP You can determine whether the request was successful using either the browser interface or the Manager interface To check the WAN IP address from the browser interface 1 2 3 4 Launch your browser and select an external site such as www netgear com Access the Main Menu of the router s configuration at http 192 168 0 1 Under the Advanced heading click on Maintenance Check that an IP address is shown for the WAN Port If 0 0 0 0 is shown your router has not obtained an IP address from your ISP Troubleshooting 11 3 Reference Guide for the Model RP114 Web Safe Router To check the WAN IP address from the Manager interface 1 If your system uses a login script such as PPPoE or RoadRunner go to Manager interface Menu 24 4 System Maintenance Diagnostic and select Internet Setup Test This will cause your router to attempt to login to the ISP Go to Manager interface Menu 24 1 System Maintenance Status Check that an IP address is shown for the WAN Port If 0 0 0 0 is shown your router has not obtained an IP address from your ISP If your router is unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP you may need to force your cable o

13. The Internet Protocol IP uses a 32 bit address structure The address is usually written in dot notation also called dotted decimal notation in which each group of eight bits is written in decimal form separated by decimal points For example the following binary address 11000011 00100010 00001100 00000111 is normally written as 195 34 12 7 The latter version is easier to remember and easier to enter into your computer In addition the 32 bits of the address are subdivided into two parts The first part of the address identifies the network and the second part identifies the host node or station on the network The dividing point may vary depending on the address range and the application B 2 Network and Routing Basics Reference Guide for the Model RP114 Web Safe Router There are five standard classes of IP addresses These address classes have different ways of determining the network and host sections of the address allowing for different numbers of hosts on a network Each address type begins with a unique bit pattern which is used by the TCP IP software to identify the address class After the address class has been determined the software can correctly identify the host section of the address The follow figure shows the three main address classes including network and host sections of the address for each address type Class A Network Node Class B Network Node Class C Netw
