Starting a Web Browser Interface
Session with the Access Point
You can start a web browser session using a standalone web browser on a
network connection from a PC in the following ways:
• Directly connected to your network
• Connected through remote access to your network
This procedure assumes that you have a supported web browser installed on
your PC or workstation, and that an IP address has been configured on the
access point. If you are using a Domain Name Server (DNS), your device may
have a name associated with it (for example, hp420) that you can type in the
Location or Address field instead of the IP address. Using DNS names typically
improves browser performance. See your network administrator for any name
associated with the access point. (For more information on assigning an IP
address, refer to “IP Configuration” on page 4-13.)
The operating systems, web browsers, and Java support required to manage
the access point through the browser interface are listed in the following table:
Operating System Internet

Windows 2000 SP3 5.01, SP1

Windows XP

6.0, SP1
Java
