4.4.2 WEBconfig
You can use any web browser, even text-based, for basic setup of the device.
The WEBconfig configuration application is integrated in the BAT. All you
need is a web browser in order to access WEBconfig.
U Functions with any web browser
WEBconfig offers setup wizards similar to LANconfig and has all you need
for easy configuration of the BAT—contrary to LANconfig but under all oper-
ating systems for which a web browser exists.
A LAN or WAN connection via TCP/IP must be established to use
WEBconfig. WEBconfig is accessed by any web browser via the IP address
of the BAT, via the name of the device (if previously assigned), or via any
name if the device has not been configured yet.
http://<IP address or device name>
U Secure with HTTPS
WEBconfig offers an encrypted transmission of the configuration data for se-
cure (remote) management via HTTPS.
https://<IP address or device name>
Note: For maximum security, please ensure to have installed the latest ver-
sion of your Internet browser. For Windows 2000, Hirschmann recom-
mends to use the “High Encryption Pack” or at least Internet Explorer 5.5
with Service Pack 2 or above.
U Access to the device over WEBconfig
For the usage of WEBconfig the PC must be connected to the LAN or WAN
over TCP/IP. WEBconfig runs with the help of a web browser and accesses
the device either with the IP address of the BAT, with the name of the device
(if already assigned) or with a any desired name, in case the device has not
been configured yet.
The reaction of Routers and Access Points, as well as their accessibility for
configuration via web browser is dependent on whether a DHCP server and
a DNS server are already active in the LAN, and whether these two server
processes exchange the assignment of IP addresses to symbolic names
within the LAN between each other.
