Introducing the Web

Configurator

This chapter describes how to access the ZyXEL Device web configurator and provides an overview of its screens.

3.1 Web Configurator Overview

The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy setup and management of the ZyXEL Device via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 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.

•JavaScripts (enabled by default).

•Java permissions (enabled by default).

Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter to see how to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet Explorer.

3.2Accessing the Web Configurator

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

2Launch your web browser.

3Type "http://192.168.1.2" as the URL.

4Type "1234" (default) as the password and click Login. In some versions, the default password appears automatically - if this is the case, click Login.

5You should see a screen asking you to change your password (highly recommended) as shown next. Type a new password (and retype it to confirm) and click Apply or click Ignore.
