NAVIGATING THE WEB BROWSER INTERFACE

Navigating the Web Browser Interface

The Wireless Barricade’s management interface includes four key menus – Status, Help, Tools, and Setup. The Status and Help menus provide general information on the current settings and how to configure the Wireless Barricade. The Setup menu is used to configure the LAN, WAN and wireless interface, as well as other advanced functions. The Tools menu is used to reset the Wireless Barricade, restore the factory settings, or upgrade firmware.

Setting a Password

If this is your first time to access the Wireless Barricade, you should define a new Administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place. From the Main Menu, select “Setup,” then “Change Password” and follow the instructions on the screen (see page 4-6). Note that passwords can consist of 3 to 12 alphanumeric characters and are case-sensitive.

Making Configuration Changes

Configurable parameters have a dialog box or a drop-down list. Once a configuration change has been made on a page, be sure to click the “Enter” button at the bottom of the page to confirm the new setting.

Note: To ensure proper screen refresh after a command entry, be sure that Internet Explorer 5.0 is configured as follows: Under the menu “Tools / Internet Options / General / Temporary Internet Files / Settings,” the setting for “Check for newer versions of stored pages” should be “Every visit to the page.”
