DI-206 ISDN Remote Router

Configuration and Management

After the initial startup (POST) test, the router will prompt you for login and password. This is the opening page of the router’s out-of-band configuration program, called the Console program. The Console program is stored in the Flash memory chips in the router and the settings are written in EEPROM chips in the router. It is the most basic level for configuring and managing the router and the network to which it is connected.

If you’re starting the router for the first time, the default login and password is “Admin” – the login and password are case-sensitive, alphanumeric characters.

Note that once you are in the Main Menu, if there is no activity for more than 5 minutes, the router will automatically log you out. Your first endeavor should be to increase the ‘timeout’ time by adjusting the appropriate value in the System Information sub-menu.

The router can also be configured remotely through a LAN or ISDN connection by using the included Router Configuration Utility or Telnet. However, if you wish to do this, the console program must first be used to initially configure the relevant port on the router. Please see Step 7 - Initial Configuration of the Router on page 12 of this manual for more detailed information.
