3. Configuration Using Web-Manager 

This chapter describes how to configure the Wi232 using Web-Manager, a browser-based configuration 
tool. The unit’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is retained without power. The unit 
performs a reset after the configuration is changed and stored. 

Web-Manager can be used in a Wireless LAN configuration or a wired connection. The choice is made in 
setup mode under the WLAN option. If you disable the WLAN, then you can use a wired Ethernet 
connection to run Web-Manager. 

Web-Manager can be started by opening a web browser or by clicking on the Web icon in Device Installer 
software. For more information about using Device Installer, see the 

Device Installer

 user manual. 

Note: PLEASE read the readme.txt notes in the Device Installer folder before installing the software. 

Note: This section contains minimum descriptions of the selections available in the menus. See the section for Telnet or 
Serial Mode for more explanations. 

1.

 

Open a standard web browser (Netscape Navigator 6.x and above, or Internet Explorer 5.5. and above). 

2.

 

In the address bar, enter the Wi232 IP address. 

a) http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address assigned to the Wi232 unit). 

3.

 

Press Enter. The Web-Manager for Wi232 opens in a browser window. 

Note: If a Password screen appears, press the Enter key to bypass it.
