How do I log onto the AIR-104/204?

Using two Internet service accounts
If you have connected two modems or ISDN terminal adapters to your AIR-104/204 for
increased bandwidth, then you must also arrange a second ISP account that meets the
same requirements listed above. Each modem or ISDN terminal adapter utilizes a
separate ISP account when accessing the Internet, and you pay for each account
separately. However, the "bandwidth on demand" feature of the AIR-104/204 allows
you to minimize the costs of utilizing a double ISP account, and still to maximize
bandwidth for Internet traffic. For more details, see the section entitled Advanced system
configuration in Chapter 5.
The basic procedure for configuring the AIR-104/204 utilizes a web browser running on a
network PC to access the Internet Configuration Console (ICC) controlled by firmware on
the AIR-104/204. This section is an introduction to using the ICC. The following section
(How to configure your Internet connection) provides step-by-step instructions for using
the ICC to get everyone on your LAN connected to the Internet immediately. The ICC is
specifically designed for user-friendliness; by following the procedures outlined in this
chapter, you should be able to configure the AIR-104/204 for basic Internet access in
less than five minutes. Alternatively, you may configure the AIR-104/204 by using the
Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI can be accessed remotely, via Telnet, or directly,
via a console attached to the AIR-104/204. See Chapter 7 for full details about the
Command Line Interface.
Connect a PC to the network as described in Chapter 2, and configure it as indicated in
Chapter 3. Re-boot your PC and router, and open the Web browser on your PC. The top
bar of the browser window frame contains a box that allows you to enter the URL
address of the desired website (on Netscape, this box is labeled "Location"; on Internet
Explorer, this box is labeled "Address"). In this box, enter the private IP address of the
AIR-104/204, and then hit the Return key. By default, the private IP address of the AIR-
104/204 is:
192.168.168.230
The AIR-104/204, as shipped from the factory, is set with this private IP address.
If you are configuring the AIR-104/204 for the first time, then enter the default
("192.168.168.230") into your web browser as the location or address.
If you have reconfigured the AIR-104/204 to another private IP address (see Chapter 5),
then enter the AIR-104/204' s current private IP address instead of the default.
If you have changed the IP address of the router and subsequently forgotten the new IP
address, you can connect a PC directly into the console port of the AIR-104/204 and use
the Command Line Interface to learn or reconfigure the router' s IP address. See Chapter
7 for the procedure.
When you successfully access the AIR-104/204, a password prompt screen will appear
on the web browser, requiring that you log on. The default password always appears in
the password box, displayed as a string of asterisks ("********").
