Administrative password

After an IP address is allocated or the SnapGear appliance has been located, the SnapGear Setup Wizard will prompt you to change the SnapGear appliance administrative password. This password controls access to the SnapGear Management Console web administration pages.

SnapGear recommends that you select a new password that is easy for you to remember but difficult for other people to guess. Your password must be kept secret to maintain the security provided by the SnapGear appliance.

SnapGear Management Console web administration pages

Your SnapGear appliance is now configured. The Setup Wizard will prompt you to launch a web browser to open the SnapGear Management Console web administration pages.

The SnapGear Management Console web administration pages is where you can configure the additional features of your SnapGear appliance.

To access the web administration pages, select Management Console under SnapGear in the Start menu. Alternately you can point your web browser to the SnapGear appliance’s IP address (e.g. http://192.168.0.1).

If you cannot access the web administration pages, check that your browser proxy settings are correctly configured. In Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, the settings are modified in Tools, Internet Options, Connection tab, LAN settings.
