Login to the Device
- Connect the router's Ethernet port to a PC with a standard Ethernet cable.
- Before logging in, manually configure the PC with a static IP address on the same subnet as the gateway address. Configure the PC's IP settings to "Use the following IP address". For example, set the IP address to 192.168.0.x (where x is not 1 or 2) and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
- To enter the gateway's web interface, type
http://192.168.0.1into the URL field of your Internet browser. - Use the login information shown in the product label when prompted for authentication (typically username: admin, password: password or similar, check the label). [Image of Robustel login screen with fields for Username and Password]
- After logging in, the home page of the web interface is displayed. You can view system information and perform configuration on the device. [Screenshot of the Robustel gateway's system information page]
