Introducing the Web

Configurator

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

2.1 Web Configurator Overview

The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy ZyWALL
setup and management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape
Navigator 7.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.

In order to use the web configurator you need to allow:

• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by

default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.

• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).

See

Appendix B on page 637

if you want to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet

Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
