Web Configurator
4.1 Overview
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web Configurator.
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy system setup and

Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome. The recommended minimum screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows on your computer.
• JavaScript (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
4.2 System Login
1
Start your web browser.
2
The Switch is a DHCP client by default. Type “http://DHCP-assigned IP” in the Location or Address field.
Press [ENTER].
Note: You can always use the domain name “setup.zyxel” to access the Web Configurator
whether the Switch is using a DHCP-assigned IP or static IP address. This requires your
computer to be directly connected to the Switch. Make sure your computer can
connect to a DNS server through the Switch.
If the Switch is not connected to a DHCP server, type “http://static IP address” of the Switch (for
example, the default management IP address is 192.168.1.1 through an in-band (non-
MGMT ) port and
192.168.0.1 through the MGMT port) in the Location or Address field. Press [ENTER]. Your computer must
be in the same subnet in order to access this website address.
Also, you can use the ZON Utility to check your Switch’s IP address. See Section 4.3 on page 60 for more
information on the ZON utility.
