If you change the IP address of the LAN interface, ensure that the IP address of the computer and the IP address of the LAN interface of the HG256 are in the same network segment to enable the computer to access the Web-based configuration utility. In this case, you need to enter the new IP address in the address bar. Configuration Example For example, the login IP address of the Web-based configuration utility is 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

If the configuration file of the HG256 is modified by mistake, you can import the backup file to the HG256. Configuration Example For example, you have modified multiple advanced parameters according to actual requirements; and you need to modify the parameters again for some reasons. To prevent a network access failure due to misoperations, you can back up the configuration file of the HG256. Once the modification of the parameters fails, you can quickly restore the HG256 to the normal state. To back up the configuration file, do as follows: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Log in to the Web-based configuration utility. In the navigation tree, choose Maintenance > Device.
