Access Web Based Management
- We recommend using the latest version of the following web browsers:
- Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Google Chrome™ for Windows
- Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome™ for Mac
- Google Chrome™ for Android™
- Safari and Google Chrome™ for iOS
- Ensure that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled, regardless of which browser you use.
- If you set a new password during initial setup, use the new password that you specified for your machine.
- If you have not set a new password, use the default password to manage this machine’s settings. The default password is located on the back of the machine and marked "Pwd". You can also find the default password in the Network Configuration Report. We recommend immediately changing the default password to protect your machine from unauthorised access.
- If the password is entered incorrectly several times, you will not be able to log in for a while. The lockout settings can be changed in Web Based Management.
- Up to eight computers or mobile devices can be logged in to Web Based Management at the same time. If you log in a ninth device, the first device will be logged out.
We recommend using the HTTPS security protocol when configuring settings using Web Based Management. If you use HTTP when configuring settings using Web Based Management, follow the screen prompts to switch to a secure HTTPS connection.
When you use HTTPS for Web Based Management configuration, your browser will display a warning dialog box. To avoid displaying the warning dialog box, you can install a self-signed certificate to use SSL/TLS communication. For more detailed information, see the Security Features Guide.
