7 Maintenance Guide
You can access the Web-based configuration utility by using the IP address 192.168.1.1.
The IP address is used by the HG256 to communicate with your PC on the current
network.
You can also change the IP address according to actual requirements. If you change the
IP address of the LAN interface, ensure that the IP address of the computer and the IP
address of the LAN interface of the HG256 are in the same network segment to enable
the computer to access the Web-based configuration utility. In this case, you need to
enter the new IP address in the address bar.
Configuration Example
For example, the login IP address of the Web-based configuration utility is 192.168.1.1
and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. To change the IP address to 192.168.1.88 (the
subnet mask remains the same), do as follows:
Step 1
Log in to the Web-based configuration utility.
Step 2
In the navigation tree, choose Basic > LAN to display the LAN configuration page.
Step 3
In IP address under the LAN Host Settings group box, enter the new IP address
192.168.1.88 in IP address.
Step 4
Under LAN Host Settings, click Submit.

7.3 Backing Up or Importing a Configuration File

Function Overview
By using the parameter backup function, you can save a backup of the configuration file
of the HG256 to a PC. If the configuration file of the HG256 is modified by mistake, you
can import the backup file to the HG256.
Configuration Example
For example, you have modified multiple advanced parameters according to actual
requirements; and you need to modify the parameters again for some reasons. To prevent
a network access failure due to misoperations, you can back up the configuration file of
the HG256. Once the modification of the parameters fails, you can quickly restore the
HG256 to the normal state.
To back up the configuration file, do as follows:
Step 1
Log in to the Web-based configuration utility.
Step 2
In the navigation tree, choose Maintenance > Device.
Step 3
On the Configuration File tab, click Download Configuration File.
Step 4
In the displayed dialog box, set the name and storage location of the configuration file.
Then click OK.
