This chapter shows you how to configure the ZyXEL Device using the embedded web
configurator.

4.1 Web Configurator Overview

The embedded web configurator allows you to manage the ZyXEL Device from anywhere
through a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Use Internet
Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions with JavaScript enabled. It
is recommended that you set your screen resolution to 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 Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.
• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
See the chapter on troubleshooting if you need to make sure these functions are allowed in
Internet Explorer.

4.1.1 Setting Up Your Computer's IP Address

You must prepare your computer / computer network to connect to the ZyXEL Device. Your
computer's IP address and subnet mask must be on the same subnet as the ZyXEL Device.
This can be done by setting up your computer's IP address.
The following figure shows you an example of accessing your ZyXEL Device via a wired
connection with an Ethernet cable.
