Installation  
You can configure the BiPAC 7300M router through the convenient and user-friendly 
interface of a web browser. Most popular operating systems such as Linux, Mac and 
Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me include a web browser as a standard application.  
3.1 Before Configuration 
PCs must have a properly installed Ethernet interface and connect to the router directly or 
through an external repeater hub. In addition, PCs must have TCP/IP installed and 
configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be 
in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and 
the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and 
have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The easiest way is to 
configure the PC to obtain an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you 
encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface you are advised to uninstall 
any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 
192.168.1.254 IP address of the router.  
 
Please follow the steps below for installation on your PC’s network environment. First of all, 
check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network 
adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating 
system manuals. 
 
 
 
 
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or
through the BiPAC 7300M. To configure other types of workstations, 
please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
