CHAPTER 2

The Web Configurator

This chapter introduces the web configurator and describes the Quick Start screen.

2.1 Overview

The embedded web configurator (eWC) allows you to manage the Prestige from anywhere through a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions with JavaScript enabled. It is recommended that you set your screen resolution to 1024 by 768 pixels. The screens you see in the web configurator may vary somewhat from the ones shown in this document due to differences between individual firmware versions.

2.2Accessing the Web Configurator

1Make sure your Prestige hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer/ computer network to connect to the Prestige (refer to the Quick Start Guide).

2Make sure the IP addresses of your computer and the Prestige are in the same range. Refer to the appendix on setting up your computer IP address for more information.

3Launch your web browser and type "192.168.1.1" as the URL.

4Enter the username (“admin” is the default) and the password (“1234” is the default).

5Click OK to log in.

Note: The management session automatically times out when the time period expires (default 180 seconds or 3 minutes). Simply log back into the Prestige if this happens to you. You can change this timeout in the Device Management screen (see Section 12.2 on page 112).
