Introducing the Web Configurator
This chapter describes how to access the ZyWALL web configurator and provides an overview of its
screens.

Web Configurator Overview

The embedded web configurator (ewc) allows you to manage the ZyWALL 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. The screens you see in the web configurator may
vary somewhat from the ones shown in this document due to differences between individual firmware
versions.
