4 Using the Web-based Management
This chapter describes how to use Watson Web-based management, which allows
you to control all Watson‘s features and system parameters, using a user-friendly
graphical interface.
4.1 Accessing the Web-based Management
To access the Web-based management:
4. Launch a Web-browser on a computer in the LAN.
5. Type the gateway‘s IP address. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1 .
6. Enter your username and password to log on to the WBM. For security reasons,
you should change these settings after the initial login. The default user name is
’admin’, and the default password is ’admin’.
Figure 4-1: Web-based Management Login
Your session will automatically time-out after a few minutes of inactivity. If you try to
operate the Web-based management after the session has expired the ‘Login
screen will appear and you will have to re-enter your user name and password be-
fore proceeding. This feature helps to prevent unauthorized users from accessing
the web-based management and changing the gateway‘s settings
Note: If your computer is running an operating system that supports UPnP, such Win-
dows XP, you can easily add the computer to your home network and access the
Web-based management directly from within Windows.
