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 
 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
Type "http://192.168.1.1" as the website address in your web browser. This 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).

Type admin (default) as the user name and 1234 (default) as the password and click OK
