Using QuickWeb

 To run QuickWeb . . .

1. Launch your World Wide Web browser.

Nx Networks recommends that you use Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. (If you are using Netscape Navigator, you must use version 4.0 or later.)

2. Enter the following in the Address (or Location) text box on your browser.

Note: QuickWeb in the Address is case sensitive. QuickWeb commands are not case sensitive. 

http://192.168.1.1/QuickWeb

192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of your router's Ethernet interface. If you change the IP address of the Ethernet interface, you will need to use that new address to run QuickWeb in the future.

3. Follow the onscreen instructions to begin using QuickWeb.

 Quick Config presents a series of parameters for you to configure. You can enter your own responses or accept the default settings.

To run Quick Config, follow these steps.
