Configurator

This chapter describes how to access the ZyWALL web configurator and provides an
overview of its screens.

2.1 Overview

The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy ZyWALL
setup and management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape
Navigator 7.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
