CHAPTER 2
Introducing the Web Configurator
2.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to access the ARMOR Z1 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 ARMOR Z1 via Internet browser. Use a browser that supports HTML5, such as
Internet Explorer 9.0 and later versions, Mozilla Firefox 21 and later versions, Safari 6.0 and later
versions or Google Chrome 26.0 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 the Troubleshooting chapter (Chapter 16 on page 150) to see how to make sure these
functions are allowed in Internet Explorer.
2.2 Accessing the Web Configurator
1 Make sure your ARMOR Z1 hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer or computer
network to connect to the ARMOR Z1 (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2 Launch your web browser.
3 The ARMOR Z1 is in router mode by default. Type "http://192.168.1.1" as the website address. If
the ARMOR Z1 obtains a WAN IP address or a DNS server IP address in the same subnet as the LAN
IP address 192.168.1.1, the default LAN IP address will be changed to 10.0.0.1 automatically. See
Auto-IP Change on page 67 for more information.
If the ARMOR Z1 is in access point, the IP address is 192.168.1.2. See Chapter 4 on page 26 for
more information about the modes of the ARMOR Z1.
Your computer must be in the same subnet in order to access this website address.
