3 Configuration and Management
When the installation of the W40 is complete (as described in the Quick Installation Guide), the internal Web Based
Management User Interface (WBM) is available for configuration and status control. This chapter provides detailed
information about configuration options and management of the W40 using the WBM.
3.1 Access and Login to the Web User Interface
The WBM can be accessed locally from a PC connected via the Ethernet LAN port or via the WiFi interface.
Note: First time setup must be done via an Ethernet LAN port as the WiFi interface in the W40 is secured by default.
When accessing the WBM, the following Web browsers are supported:
Internet Explorer® 5.0 or higher
Safari® 1.3 or higher
Firefox® 1.0 or higher
Opera® 8 or higher
Start a Web browser on a PC connected to the W40 and type or http://192.168.1.1 in the Address (URL) field.
Note: If you change the internal IP address (192.168.1.1) on the W40, you will then need to use the new address to
access the Web pages.
Figure 7: W40 WBM Login Screen
Enter your username and password, and then click OK. The user name is admin, and admin’s default password is
“admin2011”. You are logged into the WBM, and your main menu screen appears.
Your session automatically times out after a few minutes of inactivity. If you try to operate the WBM after the session
has expired, the Login screen appears and you will have to re-enter your user name and password before proceeding.
This feature helps to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the WBM and changing the gateway's settings.
Note: The user name and the password parameters are case sensitive
Note: If your computer is running an operating system that supports UPnP, such as Windows XP, you can easily add
the computer to your home network and access the WBM directly from within Windows
