NewTech Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 I need to set up port forwarding on my Westell Versa-link Router model #327W and i cannot remember how to log into my router. If I key in the address http://000.000.0.0 my webpage tells me that it cannot display the page. I know I've been logged into my router in the past but for the life of me I can't remember how I got there. Must be an age thing!
ergodic Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 You first need to find the address of your router. Then you have to login to it. 0.0.0.0 is not valid. You can try http://192.168.1.1 - that's the default out-of-the-box address I believe. If that doesn't work either, and assuming it is Windows, click Start... Run... cmd to open a command prompt. Type the command: ipconfig . (Press .) Make a note of the "Default Gateway" address shown under your active network connection. That's your router's address. Use "exit" to close the command window. Open your browser and type http:// . The default login for the Westels is username: admin, password: password. If you did the config using your ISPs setup program, the login is probably your username / password you setup with them (your "PPP" connection credentials and usually the email/password for your primary email account). If you don't know these and can't find them then you'll have to hard-reset and reconfigure the 327 from scratch. This usually isn't much; you did it before so you can do it again. But if you don't know your wireless encryption settings and you're using the wireless then you'll have to reset that and recode the new key info into all your wireless clients. Steve
NewTech Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 This Westell router is NOT very user friendly and I can find NOWHERE that will allow me to enable port forwarding. The last time I had port forwarding enabled was when Michael from UD logged into it remotely and configured it. Even he struggled with it but after he did it I was able to log into my ISY from my work computer. I just recently purchased an iPhone and downloaded the trial version of iLinc (iLinc Lite) in an attempt to see if I could use my iPhone to control our lights when we are out in the middle of a campground. I am able to control the ISY while I am on my home network but no where else. I verified this by logging onto a neighbor's wireless- I could NOT control the ISY. MobileIntegratedSolutions.com's website has very limited resources in trying to set up port forwarding. Is there anyone out there that can assist me with this. I am VERY much a novice when it comes to networking and IP addresses so easy terms works for me! BTW- Does anyone know of an easy to follow book about networking and IP addresses???

NewTech Posted September 7, 2009 Author Posted September 7, 2009 Please check out this page, which should help: http://www.portforward.com/english/rout ... /HTTPS.htm Michael, Thanks for this website. Although the site wasn't for my specific Westell router (my exact model number is A90-327W60-06), it did help me to set up port forwarding. I was able to get a response of "Your port is open" using Port Forward's Port Checker. Now, here's the deal: I just got a new iPhone and downloaded the iLinc application from Mobile Integrated Systems. The app. works GREAT when I am connected to my home WiFi network. It will NOT work when I am outside of my local network range. The ONLY reason I want this application is because we do a lot of camping and I want to be able to monitor our house over the AT&T 3G network. I've performed all of the settings EXACTLY as listed in the app.'s instructions but to no avail. Is there ANYONE out there that can help me????? I am so frustrated!

Post your questions in the iLinc-specific forum here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewforum.php?f=53 The iLinc developer monitors that forum pretty closely and can probably give you some good help. --Mark

I guess I was so frustrated last night I didn't even think to see if there was a seperate forum. I'll check it out today!
MikeB Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Make sure iLinc is configured to connect to the ISY using your public IP address, not your internal address.
