Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility

Overview

The Web-based Utility can be accessed via your web browser through use of a computer on your network. It

offers two levels of access: user and admin (administrator). Your level of access depends on your service

provider’s policies. In most cases you will only have user-level access, so this chapter will cover the user-level

web pages of the Web-based Utility. Also, access to some settings may be protected or blocked, so they cannot

be accidentally changed. For more information, contact your ITSP.

There are two main tabs: Router and Voice. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.

This chapter will describe each web page of the Web-based Utility and each page’s key functions.

If your ITSP sent you the Phone Adapter, then it may be pre-configured for you, and you do

not need to change any settings. Refer to the instructions supplied by your service provider for more

information. If you do wish to make changes, follow the instructions in this chapter.
