Chapter 3 Web User Interface
This section describes how to access the device via the web user interface (WUI) using an
Internet browser such as Internet Explorer (version 5.0 and later).
3.1 Default Settings
The factory default settings of this device are summarized below.

 LAN subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Technical Note
During power on, the device initializes all settings to default values. It will then read the
configuration profile from the permanent storage section of flash memory. The default
attributes are overwritten when identical attributes with different values are configured. The
configuration profile in permanent storage can be created via the web user interface or telnet
user interface, or other management protocols. The factory default configuration can be
restored either by pushing the reset button for more than ten seconds until the power indicates
LED blinking or by clicking the Restore Default Configuration option in the Restore Settings
screen.
3.2 IP Configuration
