embedded HTML pages that allow users to configure the HT–286 through a Web browser such as
Microsoft’s IE and AOL’s Netscape.
ACCESS THE WEB CONFIGURATION MENU

HandyTone-286 has embedded HTML pages that allows a user to configure the HandyTone-286 through
a Web browser.

1. Find the IP address of the HT–286 using voice prompt menu option 02.
2. Access the HT–286 Web Configuration page by the following URI via WAN port:
http://HandyTone-IP-Address (the HandyTone-IP-Address is the IP address for the HT–286).
NOTE: If using a web browser to enter the configuration page, strip the leading “0”s because the browser
will parse in octet. (i.e. if the IP address is: 192.168.001.014, please type in: 192.168.1.14).

END USER CONFIGURATION
Once the HTTP request is entered and sent from a Web browser, the user will see a log in screen. There
are two default passwords for the login page:
