Set a Login Password for Web Based Management
We recommend setting a login password to prevent unauthorised access to Web Based Management.
- Start your web browser.
- Type "http://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the machine's IP address).For example:
http://192.168.1.2
If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.
- For example:
http://SharedPrinter
If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.
- For example:
http://brnxxxxxxxxxxxx
The NetBIOS name can be found in the Network Configuration Report.
