Web Based Setup


Overview

The Level One ISDN Router incorporates a HTTP server. This allows you to connect to it, and configure it, using your Web Browser. Most browsers will work, provided they support HTML tables and forms.

A single Setup screen must be configured to make the Level One ISDN Router operational.


Connecting to the Level One ISDN Router

1. Check the LAN:

2. Check the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
  1. For Windows 95/98/NT, use Start - Settings - Control Panel - Network to view a screen like the following:

    Figure 1: Network Configuration tab

  2. If a line like the one highlighted ("TCP/IP -> Network Card") is not listed, select Add - Protocol - Microsoft - TCP/IP - OK to add it.
  3. Select Properties for the "TCP/IP -> Network card" entry. You will then see the IP Address screen like the following example:

    IP Address Tab

    Figure 2: TCP/IP Properties - IP Address Tab

  4. Select the radio button "Specify an IP Address"
  5. Set the IP Address to an unused value in the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254, and set the Network Mask to 255.255.255.0
    These values are compatible with the Level One ISDN Router's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1 and Network Mask (Subnet mask) of 255.255.255.0
  6. Restart (reboot) your PC.
3. Connect to the Level One ISDN Router
  1. Start your Web Browser.
  2. In the Address field, enter the following:
http://192.168.0.1
  1. If a password has been set for the Level One ISDN Router, you will be prompted for the password, as shown below. (If no password has been set, you will not see this dialog box.)

    Password Dialog

    Figure 3: Password Dialog

    Leave the "User Name" blank, and enter the password you assigned to the Level One ISDN Router.

  2. You should then see the Setup screen.
If you can't connect:

If the Level One ISDN Router does not respond, check the following:

  • The Level One ISDN Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON.
  • Ensure that your PC and the Level One ISDN Router are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
  • Ensure that your PC is using an IP Address within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus compatible with the Level One ISDN Router's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, check that the Network Mask is set to 255.255.255.0

Data - Setup Screen

Internet Account Details (from ISP)

Account (User) Name

Enter the account name provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). This name will be used to log in to the ISP. s server.

Account Password

Enter the current password for the above account.

Verify

Re-enter the password to ensure it is correct.

IP Address
from ISP

Dynamic is the most common; an IP Address is assigned when you connect.
If Fixed, enter the IP address assigned to you by your ISP.

DNS IP Address

The DNS (Domain Name Server) translates names (e.g. microsoft.com) to IP Addresses.
Enter the DNS IP address supplied or recommended by your ISP.

Telephone

Enter the telephone number used to connect to your ISP.

ISDN Details (from Telephone Company)

Country

Select your country from the drop-down list.

Note that there are 5 entries for the USA. If in the USA, select the entry to match the "Switch Type" used by your telephone company.

SPID (1st B Channel)

If you live in the USA, enter the SPID (Service Profile Identifier) provided by your phone company.

The most common format for the SPID is 10 digits (area code + local number) for the phone number, followed by 4 digits for the device ID.

e.g. 555-555-1234-0101

Where 555-555-1234 is the phone number, and 0101 is the device ID.

However, there is wide variation in SPID formats, and you must use the method advised by your phone company.

If your telephone company did not provide this information, leave this blank.

SPID (2nd B Channel)

Enter the SPID for the 2nd B Channel. (See above)

LAN Settings

IP Address
Network Mask

These setings depend on your LAN environment:

  • If you use the built-in DHCP server (recommended):
    • Usually, no changes are required on this screen.
    • However, all devices on your LAN must either be a DHCP Client OR use a compatible IP Address and Network mask.
  • If your LAN already has a DHCP server:
    • If not already done, set DIP switch 2 ON to disable the DHCP server in the Level One ISDN Router.
    • Assign the Level One ISDN Router an unused IP Address within the address range used on your LAN. (Do not use an IP Address allocated by the DHCP Server; doing so will cause an IP Address conflict.)
    • The Network Mask must be the same as the value used by the DHCP server.
  • If your LAN uses static (fixed) IP Addresses:
    • Give the Level One ISDN Router a unique IP Address chosen from the address range used by PCs on your LAN.
    • The Level One ISDN Router's Network Mask must be the same value as PCs on your LAN.
