Introduction

This chapter provides procedures for changing the configuration of a remote RouteFinder. Remote configuration allows a PC at one site (local site) to dial a remote RouteFinder and change the configuration of that remote unit. Remote configuration can be accomplished either directly through the LAN or remotely using modems. To remotely configure a RouteFinder, a local PC needs to be connected to a dial-up line and the RouteFinder software configured to call the remote RouteFinder. The remote RouteFinder needs to have a modem connected to a dial-up line and the Command Port. Once the connection to the remote unit is made, you can change the configuration as you see fit. Once the configuration is changed, you can download the new configuration to the remote RouteFinder. Refer to the Modem-Based Remote Configuration Procedure in this chapter to remotely configure a RouteFinder.

To configure the remote RouteFinder through the LAN, change the communication type to the IP based Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) and change the configuration as you see fit. Refer to the LAN-Based Remote Configuration Procedure in this chapter to configure a remote RouteFinder.

Modem-Based Remote Configuration Procedure

1.At the remote site, remove the serial cable from the PC to the Command Port connector on the back panel of the RouteFinder.

2.At the remote site, connect a Remote Configuration Cable to the Command Port connector on the back panel of the RouteFinder and the RS-232 connector on the modem. This cable is a serial cable with male connectors on both ends. Refer to Appendix A for cable details.

Connect the modem to your local telephone line.

Provide your telephone number to the person verifying your configuration.

3.At the main site, connect your local PC to a modem that is connected to a dial-up line.

4.Install the RouteFinder software on the local PC and start the Configuration Port Setup program:

Windows 3.1x: double-click on the Configuration Port Setup Icon in the RouteFinder program group.

Windows 95/NT: Click on Start >> Programs >> RouteFinder >> Configuration Port Setup.

5.The RouteFinder Setup dialog box is displayed.

Verify that the Communication Type field is set for Com port and the Select Port field is set for the COM port of your local PC.

In the Dial String field, enter the AT command for dialing (ATDT) plus the phone number of the remote RouteFinder .
