CHAPTER 2
The Web Configurator
2.1 Overview
The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy
device setup and management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and
later versions or Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions or Safari 2.0 and later
versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.

by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.
JavaScripts (enabled by default).
Java permissions (enabled by default).
See Appendix C on page 359 if you need to make sure these functions are allowed
in Internet Explorer.
