Introducing the Web

Configurator

This chapter describes how to access the P-330W web configurator and provides an overview

of its screens.

2.1

Web Configurator Overview

The embedded web configurator allows you to manage the P-330W from anywhere through a

browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Use Internet Explorer 6.0

and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions with JavaScript enabled. It is

recommended that you set your screen resolution to 1024 by 768 pixels. The screens you see

in the web configurator may vary somewhat from the ones shown in this document due to

differences between individual P-330W models or firmware versions.

2.2

Accessing the P-330W Web Configurator

1

Make sure your P-330W hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer/

computer network to connect to the P-330W (refer to the

Quick Start Guide

).

2

Launch your web browser.

Type "192.168.10.1" as the URL.

4

Resetting the P-330W

If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to use the

RESET

button at the back of the P-330W to reload the factory-default configuration file. This

means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be

reset to “1234”.

Note:

The management session automatically times out when

there has been no activity for several minutes. Simply log back

into the P-330W if this happens to you.
