Network Extender for Business Web Server FAQs

The Network Extender for Business Web Server is a management interface embedded into the Network Extender for Business device. The Web Server allows you to manage the settings of each of your devices, including the following:

• Validate the grouping of devices together for a broader range of service
• Manage or modify your Network Extender for Business IP address

There are two ways to access the Network Extender for Business Web Server:

• Connect your laptop to the same network as the Network Extender for Business.
  
• If the default IP address has been assigned, you can directly connect your laptop to the Network Extender for Business. To do that, select your Web browser’s address bar and enter https:// followed by the assigned IP address.

Note: Be sure to use "https" and not "http".

The Web Server has been verified to work with the following browsers:

• Internet Explorer® 6
• Internet Explorer 7
• Internet Explorer 8
• Firefox®
• Safari®
• Google Chrome™

No, the Web Server currently uses an unsigned certificate. Signed certificates are being looked at for a future release.

The default username and password is as follows:

• Username: administrator
• Password: enterpriseFemt0

Note: The login information is case-sensitive, and the last character in the password is the number zero.

You can use the Reset Tool to reset the username and password back to the factory defaults.

There is a description of the field on each of the pages. If additional information is needed, refer to the user guide (PDF*).
