Introducing the Web Configurator
3.1
Overview
This chapter describes how to access the NBG 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 via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape
Navigator 7.0 and later versions or Safari 2.0 or 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 26 on page 167
) to see how to make sure these
functions are allowed in Internet Explorer.
