Management Options
Before You Begin
The D-Link router can be managed by using the Web User
Interface (Web UI), Telnet, or Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) management interfaces. If you wish to
manage a single D-Link router, the Web UI may be the best
option. Each router must be assigned its own IP address,
which is used for communication with the management PC.
Please refer to the following installation instructions to get
started with the Web UI and SNMP management interfaces.
Web User Interface
Once the router has been successfully installed, you can begin
conguration, monitor the LED panel, and display graphical
statistics using a web browser. Supported browsers include:
Microsoft® Internet Explorer , Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
You need the following equipment to access the Web UI of
your device:
• A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet port
• A standard Ethernet cable
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the router’s Ethernet port and
to the Ethernet port on the PC.
2. Congure the PC’s IP address to be in the network segment
as the router. The router’s default IP address is 192.168.0.1,
with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

ENGLISH
3. For example, to connect to the router using the default
settings, your PC should have an IP address in the range:
192.168.0.2-.254 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
4. Open the web browser and enter http://192.168.0.1/ in the
address box.
5. Log in to the router. The default user name is admin and the
default password is admin.
SNMP
You can manage the router with D-Link D-View, or any other
SNMP-compatible program. The SNMP function is disabled
by default and must be enabled on the router rst by using
the Web UI, as described in the previous section. The D-View
SNMP Network Management System is a comprehensive
standard-based management tool designed to centrally manage
critical network infrastructure. D-View provides useful tools
to allow network administrators to eectively manage device
congurations, fault tolerance, performance, and security.
D-Link offers a free version of D-View which can allow you
to manage up to 25 devices. You can download or get more
information on the following website: http://dview.dlink.com/.
