Web Configurator

3.1 Overview

This chapter shows you how to use the Web Configurator to secure and manage on your HomeGrid
network.
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy PLA setup and
management via Internet browser. Supported browsers at the time of writing are:
• IE 8 or later
• Chrome 34.0.1847.131 or later
• Firefox 29.0.1 or later
• Opera 21.0 or later
• Safari 5.1.7 or later
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 some
browsers.
• JavaScript (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
The PLA is designed as a plug-and-play network expanding solution. This means that once you
complete your hardware connections, the PLAs in your network (without additional configuration) are
able to communicate with each other by sending and receiving information over your home's
electrical wiring (A).
