7.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to access the NAS web configurator and provides an overview of its
screens. The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy NAS setup
and management using an Internet browser.
Use Internet Explorer 11.0.9, Mozilla Firefox 31.0, Safari 5.1.7, Google Chrome 37.0.2, or later
versions of these browsers. The recommended screen resolution is 1440 by 900 pixels or higher.
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.
• JavaScript (enabled by default).
