Configuration

Araknis routers can be configured through OvrC or the local interface.
The local interface is accessible using OvrC’s Web Connect feature, or typing the router’s default IP address, 192.168.1.1, into your browser’s address bar.

Configuring the router in OvrC
OvrC provides remote device management, real-time notifications, and intuitive customer management, right from your computer or mobile device.
Setup is plug-andplay, with no port forwarding or DDNS address required.

To add this device to your OvrC account:

Connect the router to the internet
Log into OvrC (www.ovrc.com)
Create a customer in OvrC or select an existing one.
Click the Add Device button, then enter the router’s MAC address and Service Tag.
Click the Web Connect icon to connect to the router’s local interface.

Logging in to the local interface

Log into the AP using the default credentials:
** Username| araknis
---|---
Password**| araknis
You must update the password after initial login.

Pro Tip: Strong passwords are long and unrelated to the client’s public details.
For example, the pepperoni pizzas is stronger and easier to remember than Password or the smiths.

Next steps
Click on Settings to expand configuration options, such as:

System — Configure the System name, IP address, time zone, and Daylight Saving Time.
WAN — Configure the WAN connection type, speed, and DNS servers.
LAN — Configure the default DHCP server settings and/or add another DHCP server for a VLAN.
