CHAPTER 2
The Web Configurator
2.1 Overview
The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy device setup and
management of the SBG3500-N Series via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 and later
versions with JavaScript enabled, or Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions or Safari 2.0 and later
versions or Google Chrome 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.
• JavaScript (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
See Appendix C on page 387 if you need to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet
Explorer.
2.1.1 Accessing the Web Configurator
1 Make sure your SBG3500-N Series hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2 Launch your web browser. If the SBG3500-N Series does not automatically re-direct you to the
login screen, go to http://192.168.1.1.
3 A password screen displays. To access the administrative web configurator and manage the
SBG3500-N Series, type the default username admin and password 1234 in the password screen
and click Login. If advanced account security is enabled (see Section 33.2 on page 325) the
number of dots that appears when you type the password changes randomly to prevent anyone
watching the password field from knowing the length of your password. If you have changed the
password, enter your password and click Login.
