3 Managing the HP R110/R120 system

The HP R110/R120 is managed via its web-based management interface using Microsoft 
Internet Explorer 8 or later, Google Chrome v29 or later, or Mozilla Firefox v24 or later. You 
can access the HP R110/R120 management tool using either 

http

 or 

https

. Using 

https

 is 

more secure, but you will see a warning because the security certificate is issued by the router 
and not a known certificate authority. With 

https

, it is acceptable to choose the option that 

allows you to proceed through the security warning.

In a web browser, specify either: 

http://192.168.1.1

 or 

https://192.168.1.1

.

For information on launching the web-based management interface for the first time, see the
