Using Telnet to Configure your RouteFinder

Telnet is a telecommunications software utility which allows you to access a remote device. The RouteFinder RF802EW has a built-in Telnet Server that enables a Telnet client to remotely configure the device using a menu system.

Important: Non-Windows operating system users must use the Telnet menu system to configure the RF802EW for operation.

Note: To successfully configure your RouteFinder using Telnet, TCP/IP must be correctly configured on your computer and the router and computer must be located on the same subnet.

1.Start your telnet session and connect to the RouteFinder RF802EW using the router’s default IP address of 192.168.2.1 and vt100 terminal emulation.

If you are using a graphical interface similar to that shown above, click Connect.

2. When prompted to input the Router Password, press Enter.
