Wall Mounting

You may need screw anchors if mounting on a concrete or brick wall.

1

Select a position free of obstructions on a wall strong enough to hold the weight of the device.

2

Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.

Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall

when drilling holes for the screws.

3

If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the anchors into the

full depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do not insert the screws all the way

in - leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm.

If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do not insert the

screws all the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.

4

Make sure the screws are fastened well enough to hold the weight of the NBG-418N with the

connection cables.

5

Align the holes on the back of the NBG-418N with the screws on the wall. Hang the NBG-418N on

the screws.

The Web Configurator

2.1

Overview

This chapter describes how to access the NBG-418N 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 NBG-418N via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions,

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 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

Chapter 20 Troubleshooting

to see how to make sure these functions are allowed in

Internet Explorer.

2.2

Accessing the Web Configurator

1

Make sure your NBG-418N hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer or computer

network to connect to the NBG-418N (refer to the Quick Start Guide).

address in router mode, the default device mode (192.168.1.2 is the default IP address in non-

router mode).

Your computer must be in the same subnet in order to access this website address. In router mode,

the NBG-418N can assign your computer an IP address, so you must set your computer to get an IP

address automatically (computer factory default) or give it a fixed IP address in the range between

192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.254 (see the appendices).
