Using the Host Web User

Interface

You need to configure different settings from the Host Web UI before you
can start working with your unit.

Accessing and Exiting the Host Web UI

The Host Web UI allows you to perform various operations on the host and
companion of your unit.

For a complete list of supported Web browsers, see Supported Web
Browsers
on page 12.

The steps that you will need to follow to access the Web UI will depend on
the type of connection that you have: computer connected locally to the
unit, computer and unit connected to a same LAN, or computer and unit
connected to a WAN or the Internet. In the latter case, you will need to
connect your computer to the VPN and to retrieve the LogMeIn address of
your unit before being able to connect to the Web UI.

To start the Host Web UI:
1.
If you intend to connect to your unit via a WAN or the Internet, connect

to the VPN (see Connecting to the VPN on page 74); otherwise, go
directly to step 2.

2. From your computer, open a Web browser.

3. In the address bar, type the appropriate information.

Computer connected directly to the unit (front port), type
http://169.254.10.10/HostWebUI.

For LAN connection, type
http://Rear_Port_IP_Address/HostWebUI

For WAN or Internet connection, type
http://Unit_LogMeIn_Hamachi_Address/HostWebUI.

Note: If you do not know the IP address of the rear Ethernet port, see Retrieving

the IP Address of the Rear Ethernet Port (Host) on page 55.
