Chapter 3 Logging to the Device
This chapter describes how to configure TCP/IP settings on your computer, and how to login to the Device. In
addition, it briefly describes the layout of the Device’s Web interface.
3.1 Configuring Your Computer
To configure the Device via Web UI, you need to properly configure TCP/IP settings on the computer that you use to
manage the Device. To do this, follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect the computer to a LAN port of the Device, or connect the computer to the Device wirelessly.
Step 2 Install TCP/IP protocol on your computer. If it is already installed, please skip this step.
Step 3 Do one the following to configure TCP/IP settings on your computer:
①If you want to want to set the IP address and other settings manually, select Use the following IP
address, set the IP address to an unused one in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0,
and default gateway to 192.168.1.1. Note: the Device’s default LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1 with a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
②If a DHCP server is available on your network, and you want IP settings to be assigned automatically,
select Obtain an IP address automatically.
Step 4 Use the Ping command to verify network connectivity between the computer and the Device. Open the
command prompt on the computer, type ping 192.168.1.252, and then press Enter. The following uses Windows XP
as an example.
A successful ping will look like this:
A n unsuccessful ping will look like this:

8
If the Ping command is successful, the connection between the computer and the Device is working properly. If the
Ping command fails, please do the following:
①Check physical connection: Verify that the LAN LED on the Device and the LED on your computer’s
network card are lit.
②Check TCP/IP settings: Verify that your computer is on the same subnet as the Device’s LAN interface.
E.g., if the Device’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1 (default), the computer’s IP address must be an unused IP
address in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.
3.2 Logging to the Device
No matter what operating system is installed on your computer, such as, MS Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, or Linux,
and so on, you can configure the Device through the Web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox).
To login to the Device, do the following: Launch a Web browser, enter the Device’s LAN IP address (the default is
192.168.1.252) in the address bar, and then press Enter, The login window appears, as shown in Figure 3-1. The
first time you login to the Device, you should enter the default login information (default user name and password
both are admin), and then click OK.
Figure 3-1 Web UI Login Window
If the login is successful, the home page appears, as shown in Figure 3-2.
