2.1 Logging in to the Web UI
Before configuring the network, log in to the Web UI. Take the Windows XP operating
system and the Internet Explorer 6.0 as examples.
Perform the following steps to log in to the Web UI.
Step 1

Configure the IP address of the computer so that the IP address of the computer and the
IP address of the BM635 are in the same network segment.
Note:
By default, the IP address of the BM635 is 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
For example, you can set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.1.100 and the subnet mask
to 255.255.255.0.

Step 2
Step 3

Open the Internet Explorer, enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar, and then press
Enter.
Enter the user name and the password in the login interface that is displayed, and then
click Login.
Note:
The initial user name is admin and the corresponding password is also admin.

Step 4

After the authentication of the user name and the password succeeds, log in to the Web
UI.

2.2 Configuring a WAN
When you configure a WAN, the BM635 can act as a routing device or bridge device.
With the BM635, a terminal at the LAN side is connected to the network.
z

In routing mode, the BM635 acts as a routing device to connect to the network.
Based on packet information, the BM635 searches for a route over which the packets
are sent to the destination IP address.
In bridge mode, the BM635 acts as a bridge device to connect to the network. The
BM635 only transparent transmit packets.

Three modes of obtaining an IP address are available for the BM635:
z
z
z

2-2

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) mode: The IP address is obtained
from the Internet service provider (ISP).
Static IP address mode: The ISP configures a static IP address.
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) mode: The IP address is obtained by
PPPoE dialup.

3 Configuring Basic Functions

3.1 Configuring a WLAN
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is set up based on wireless communication
technologies without any cables. The setup of the WLAN is simple. With the WLAN
function, the BM635 enables users to access the broadband network at any time and any
place within the WLAN coverage area in addition to the provisioning of the legacy wired
LAN services.
