Enter the username and password and click the Login button. The factory default username and
password is admin and admin . If the user credentials are correct, you will be transferred to the main
Web Interface page.

First Time Web Interface Logon and the Setup Wizard

When logging on for the first time, the default username is always admin and the password is
admin .

After successful login, the WebUI user interface will be presented in the browser window. If no
configuration changes have yet been uploaded to the NetDefend Firewall, the NetDefendOS Setup
Wizard will start automatically to take a new user through the essential steps for NetDefendOS setup
and establishing public Internet access.

Important: Switch off popup blocking

Popup blocking must be disabled in the web browser to allow the NetDefendOS Setup
Wizard to run since this appears in a popup window.

Multi-language Support

The Web Interface login dialog offers the option to select a language other than English for the
interface. Language support is provided by a set of separate resource files. These files can be
downloaded from the D-Link website.

It may occasionally be the case that a NetDefendOS upgrade can contain features that temporarily
lack a complete non-english translation because of time constraints. In this case the original english
will be used as a temporary solution in place of a translation to the selected language.

The Web Browser Interface

On the left hand side of the Web Interface is a tree which allows navigation to the various sets of
NetDefendOS objects. The central area of the Web Interface displays information about those
modules. Current performance information is shown by default.
