3.2 Configuration Program

The BLW-54PM contains an HTTP server. This enables you to connect to it, and configure it,
using your Web Browser. Your Browser must support JavaScript.
The configuration program has been tested on the following browsers:
Netscape V4.08 or later
Internet Explorer V4 or later

3.2.1 Preparation

Before attempting to configure the BLW-54PM, please ensure that:
Your PC can establish a physical connection to the BLW-54PM. The PC and the BLW-
54PM must be directly connected (using the Hub ports on the BLW-54PM) or on the same
LAN segment.
The BLW-54PM must be installed and powered ON.
If the BLW-54PM's default IP Address (192.168.1.1) is already used by another device,
the other device must be turned OFF until the BLW-54PM is allocated a new IP Address
during configuration.
Using UPnP
If your Windows system supports UPnP, an icon for the BLW-54PM will appear in the system
tray, notifying you that a new network device has been found, and offering to create a new
desktop shortcut to the newly-discovered device.
Unless you intend to change the IP Address of the BLW-54PM, you can accept the desk-
top shortcut.
Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can always find UPnP devices in My
Network Places (previously called Network Neighborhood).
Double - click the icon for the BLW-54PM (either on the Desktop, or in My Network
Places) to start the configuration. Refer to the following section Setup Wizard for details
of the initial configuration process.
Using your Web Browser
To establish a connection from your PC to the BLW-54PM:
1. After installing the BLW-54PM in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is already running,
restart it.
2. Start your WEB browser.
3. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of the BLW-54PM, as in this
example, which uses the BLW-54PM's default IP Address:
HTTP://192.168.1.1
Because the default password is blank, your will not be prompted for a password. However,
you should assign a password. See the Password Screen section later in this chapter for details.
