    3) Once you have configured your PCs to obtain an IP address automatically, the router’s DHCP 
    server will automatically give your LAN clients an IP address. By default XRT-412’s DHCP 
    server is enabled so that you can obtain an IP address automatically. To see if you have 
    obtained an IP address, see Appendix A.  
     
    Note: Please make sure that XRT-412’s DHCP server is the only DHCP server available on 
    your LAN. If there is another DHCP on your network, then you’ll need to switch one of the 
    DHCP servers off. (To disable XRT-412’s DHCP server see chapter 2 LAN Port) 
     
    4) Once your PC has obtained an IP address from your router, enter the default IP address 
    192.168.0.1 (broadband router’s IP address) into your PC’s web browser and press   
     
    5) The login screen below will appear. Enter the “User Name” and “Password” and then click 
     to login.
