ing the IP address. You can then use your Web browser to manage and configure the unit from a PC.

This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web Management Interface (WMI). The WMI
is an HTML-based management interface that allows you to easily set-up and manage the Model 3202.
The Model 3202 offers all monitoring and management features that allow users to manage this Model 3202
form anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Internet Explorer.
