Netopia 3546 ADSL Smart Gateway w/ 4 port switch

Open the Web Connection



Once your Gateway is powered up, you can use any recent version of the best-known web browsers that support JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets from any LAN-attached PC or workstation.

The procedure is:
1. Enter the name or IP address of your Cayman Gateway in the Web browser's window and click Enter.
For example, you would enter http://192.168.1.254 if your Cayman Gateway is using its default IP address.

2. If an administrator or user password has been assigned to the Cayman Gateway, enter Admin or User as the username and the appropriate password and click OK.

The Cayman Gateway Home page opens.
NOTE:
If the Gateway is not configured, after logon you will see the Quickstart page.

Home page
The Home page is the “dashboard” for your Cayman Gateway. The toolbar at the top provides links to controlling, configuring, and monitoring pages. Critical configuration and operational status is displayed in the center section. If you log on as Admin you see this page. This example screen is from the 3546 Gateway.



The Home page differs slightly among different Gateway models.

Home page - Information
The Home page’s center section contains a summary of the Gateway’s configuration settings and operational status.

Summary Information




Toolbar
The toolbar is the dark blue bar at the top of the page containing the major navigation buttons. These buttons are available from almost every page, allowing you to move freely about the site. The example toolbar shown below is displayed when you log on as Admin. If you log on as User, some buttons will not be shown.



Navigating the Web Interface

Link: Breadcrumb Trail
The breadcrumb trail is built in the light brown area beneath the toolbar. As you navigate down a path within the site, the trail is built from left to right. To return anywhere along the path from which you came, click on one of the links.



Restart Button:
Restart
The Restart button on the toolbar allows you to restart the Gateway at any time. You will be prompted to confirm the restart before any action is taken. The Restart Confirmation message explains the consequences of and reasons for restarting the Gateway.



If you have made changes to the Gateway’s configuration database, but you have not saved them, you will see a warning, with the option to save or discard the changes:




Link: Alert Symbol

The Alert symbol appears in the upper right corner under one of two circumstances:
1. a database change; one in which a change is made to the Gateway’s configuration. The Alert serves as a reminder that you must Save the changes and Restart the Gateway before the change will take effect. You can make many changes on various pages, and even leave the browser for up to 8 minutes, but if the Gateway is restarted before the changes are applied, they will be lost. When you click on the Alert symbol, the Save Changes page appears. Here you can select various options to save or discard these changes.



2. a security event is logged. If you have Security Monitoring keyed, you receive Alerts whenever there is an event in the log that has not been viewed. When you click the Alert symbol the Security Log is displayed and the Alert clears. If more than one Alert is triggered, you will need to take action to clear the
first Alert before you can see the second Alert.



Help
Button: Help
Context-sensitive Help is provided in Cayman OS. The page shown above is displayed when you are on the Home page or other transitional pages. To see a context help page example, go to Security -> Passwords, then click Help.
