The Web Configurator
2.1
Overview
This chapter describes how to access the
NBG-418N v2 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 v2 via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 and later
versions, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari. 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 23 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 v2 hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer or
computer network to connect to the NBG-418N v2 (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2
Launch your web browser.
3
When the NBG-418N v2 is in router mode, type “http://myrouter” or "http://192.168.1.1" as the
website address in your web browser. 192.168.1.1 is the default LAN IP address in router mode
(the default device mode). (The default IP address in non-router mode is 192.168.1.2).
Your computer must be in the same subnet in order to access this website address. In router mode,
the NBG-418N v2 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).
