Most users are accustomed to working with a computer by launching a program and performing all the required tasks in it. Nowadays, programs have a graphical interface, which, of course, makes it easier to work with it. But this approach is already outdated. Now more and more web interfaces appear. This article is devoted to this topic.
What is a web interface
Web-interface can be considered any site launched through a browser. For example, when accessing their mail on the Internet, rather than using a mail client, the user is directly confronted with the web interface. It allows you to interact with all the functions of the mail and does not require the installation of additional software. Accordingly, to work in the web interface, you need a stable network connection, otherwise websites will not open.
To run a conditional program through the web interface, you need to follow simple steps:
- Launch browser.
- Open the desired site in it.
- Enter registration data.
The last item is needed in order to access all the services provided by the site.
Web mail interface
In order to analyze everything in more detail, it is necessary to give examples of using such an interface in practice. Now let's look at the interface on the example of Yandex. Mail.
You can log in to your mailbox in several ways: through an email client (a program installed on your computer) or through a web interface (browser). Consider the second method.
- In the browser, enter the mail site, in this case, yandex.ru.
- In the upper right side, click the "Login" button.
- In the form that appears, enter your registration data.
- Press the "Login" button.
After that, you get to a new page - the web-interface of mail from Yandex. In it, you can perform basic actions by clicking on the appropriate links. For example, to view incoming emails, you must click on the "Inbox" link.
Modem web interface
If all users are more or less familiar with the mail interface, then they know the modem interface less. The article will consider a Yota modem, but the launch method is common for Megafon, Beeline, MTS, etc.
So, to get into the web interface of the modem, you need to:
- Open browser.
- Go to the modem website.
- Follow the link leading to the user's personal account.
- Log inprofile.
- Enter registration data.
After that you get to the menu from where you can control the modem's functions. By the way, in order to receive registration data, you need to enter them when you first enter the site. Then a window will automatically open where you need to specify the basic data that will be used to log in in the future.
Router web interface
The web interface is also used to manage the router. Even more than that, with its help you can only configure this network device. The launch principle differs in many respects from those presented earlier. Here is what the user must do to open it:
- Open browser.
- Enter the router's domain in the address bar. It can be expressed as a numeric value, for example, 192.168.1.1, or as an alphabetic value.
- After that, a window will appear in which you must enter your login information. Often they are listed on the back of the router.
After that, a rather complicated interface will open, through which you can configure the device.
Now you know not only what a web interface is, but also how to open it.
