Introducing the Web
Configurator
This chapter describes how to configure the G-570U using the Wizard.
3.1 Web Configurator Overview
The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy G-570U
setup and management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape
Navigator 7.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the web configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by
default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.
• JavaScripts (enabled by default).

See the Troubleshooting chapter if you want to make sure these functions are allowed in
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
