Introducing the Web Configurator
This chapter describes how to access the HomeSafe web configurator and provides an
overview of the initial configuration screens.
2.1 Web Configurator Overview
The embedded web configurator allows you to manage the HomeSafe from anywhere through a
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Use Internet Explorer 6.0
and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later versions with JavaScript enabled. It is recommended
that you set your screen resolution to 1024 by 768 pixels. The screens you see in the web
configurator may vary somewhat from the ones shown in this document due to differences
between individual HomeSafe models or firmware versions.

computer/computer network to connect to the HomeSafe (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
