Introducing the Web
Configurator
This chapter describes how to access and navigate the web configurator.
2.1  Web Configurator Overview
The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy ZyXEL 
Device setup and management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or 
Netscape Navigator 7.0 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.
• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
See 
 if you need to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet 
Explorer.
2.2  Accessing the Web Configurator 
Note: Even though you can connect to the ZyXEL Device wirelessly, it is 
recommended that you connect your computer to a LAN port for initial 
configuration.
Follow the directions in the Quick Start Guide to set up your ZyXEL Device and to 
connect your computer.
