Introduction

The web interface

What is the web interface?
The web interface is a built-in web server in the EXPLORER 500, used for operating, setting up and
configuring the EXPLORER 500.
You can access the web interface from a standard Internet browser.
Internet Explorer 6.0, Mozilla Firefox 1.0 and Apple Safari 2.0 have been tested successfully with
the web interface.
You may be able to use other browser versions as well.
Connecting
Connect your computer to the EXPLORER 500.
Make sure your computer is set up for the interface you are planning to use for connecting to the
EXPLORER 500. You can use LAN, USB, or Bluetooth. See Using the interfaces on page 48 for
details.
To access the web interface, an Internet browser must be installed on the computer.
Important If you are going to use USB or Bluetooth with Dial-up Networking to access only the
web interface and not the Internet, you must use a dial-up connection with the
phone number set to *99#. For further information, see Creating a dial-up
connection on page 71.
