This page is used to set a password that enables you to access
all the internal web pages as explained before under Mandatory
User Configuration. The password can be a maximum of 8
characters and is case sensitive. In addition, this page can be
used to restore the gateway to its original factory settings. Use
this with caution, as all the settings you have made will be lost.
To perform this reset, set Restore Factory Defaults to YES and
click Apply. This has the same affect as a factory reset using the
rear panel reset switch, where you hold in the switch until all
indicators come on, then release.
Diagnostics Web Page (Fig. 15)
This page verifies you have IP connectivity from your gateway
to other IP addresses on the WAN or LAN side, such as when
you want to confirm you have successfully configured one of
your PCs for TCP/IP operation.
When you ping an Internet device, you send a packet to its TCP/
IP stack, and it sends one back to yours. Enter the IP address
you want to ping, then click Start Test. Wait a few seconds,
then click your web browser's refresh button. Success reported
in the Results box means IP connectivity is working from your
CM TCP/IP stack to the target's stack.
Note: Firewalls may cause pings to fail but still provide you TCP/IP
access to selected devices behind them. Keep this in mind when pinging
a device that may be behind a firewall. Ping is most useful to verify
connectivity with PCs you know have no firewall, such as your own PCs
on your LAN side.
