Introducing the Web Configurator

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

2.1Web Configurator Overview

The embedded web configurator (ewc) allows you to manage the ZyWALL 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.

2.2Accessing the ZyWALL Web Configurator

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

Step 2. Launch your web browser.

Step 3. Type "192.168.1.1" as the URL.

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

Step 5. You 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.
