Logging in to the Web interface

The device provides a built-in Web server for you to configure the device through a Web browser. Web login is by default enabled.

Configuration guidelines

The Web-based configuration interface supports the operating systems of Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Linux, and MAC OS.

The Web-based configuration interface supports the browsers of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2 and higher, Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and higher, Google Chrome 2.0.174.0 and higher, and the browser must support and be enabled with JavaScript.

The Web-based configuration interface does not support the Back, Next, Refresh buttons provided by the browser. Using these buttons may result in abnormal display of Web pages.

The Windows firewall limits the number of TCP connections, so when you use IE to log in to the Web interface, sometimes you may be unable to open the Web interface. To avoid this problem, HP recommends you to turn off the Windows firewall before login.

If the software version of the device changes, clear the cache data on the browser before logging in to the device through the Web interface; otherwise, the Web page content may not be displayed correctly.

You can display at most 20,000 entries that support content display by pages.
