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