The Web Configurator

2.1 Overview

This chapter describes how to access the NBG-418N Web Configurator and provides an overview of its screens.

The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy setup and management of the NBG-418N via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions, Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions, or Safari 2.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.

In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow:

•Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.

•JavaScript (enabled by default).

•Java permissions (enabled by default).

Refer to Chapter 20 Troubleshooting to see how to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet Explorer.

2.2Accessing the Web Configurator

1Make sure your NBG-418N hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer or computer network to connect to the NBG-418N (refer to the Quick Start Guide).

2Launch your web browser.

3Type "http://192.168.1.1" as the website address in your web browser. This is the default LAN IP address in router mode, the default device mode (192.168.1.2 is the default IP address in non- router mode).

Your computer must be in the same subnet in order to access this website address. In router mode, the NBG-418N can assign your computer an IP address, so you must set your computer to get an IP address automatically (computer factory default) or give it a fixed IP address in the range between 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.254 (see the appendices).

4Type admin (default) as the user name and 1234 (default) as the password and click OK.
