CHAPTER 2
The Web Configurator
2.1 Overview
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy Zyxel Device setup and
management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 and later versions or 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
Zyxel Device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in
Windows 7.
• JavaScript (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
2.1.1 Accessing the Web Configurator
1 Make sure your Zyxel Device hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2 Launch your web browser. If the Zyxel Device does not automatically re-direct you to the login screen,
go to http://192.168.1.1.
3 A password screen displays. Select the language you prefer.
4 To access the administrative Web Configurator and manage the Zyxel Device, type the default
username admin and the randomly assigned default password (see the device label) in the password
screen and click Login. If you have changed the password, enter your password and click Login.
