Instructions for WEBconfig
Device settings can be configured from any Web browser. WEBconfig config-
uration software is an integral component of the LANCOM. A Web browser is
all that is required to access WEBconfig. WEBconfig offers similar Setup Wiz-

security.
Accessing the device with WEBconfig
To carry out a configuration with WEBconfig, you need to know how to con-
tact the device. Device behavior and accessibility for configuration via a Web
browser depend on whether the DHCP server and DNS server are active in the
LAN already, and whether these two server processes share the assignment in
the LAN of IP addresses to symbolic names. WEBconfig accesses the LANCOM
either via its IP address, the device name (if configured), or by means of any
name if the device has not yet been configured.
Following power-on, unconfigured LANCOM devices first check whether a
DHCP server is already active in the LAN. Depending on the situation, the
device can either enable its own DHCP server or enable DHCP client mode. In
