CHAPTER 7
Introducing the Web Configurator
7.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to access the PLA4231 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 PLA4231 via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later 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.
• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter (Chapter 14 on page 99) to see how to make sure these
functions are allowed in Internet Explorer.
7.2 Accessing the Web Configurator
1 Connect your computer to the LAN port of the PLA4231.
2 The default IP address of the PLA4231 is “192.168.1.2”. In this case, your computer must have an
IP address in the range between “192.168.1.3” and “192.168.1.254”.
