Remote, Test the network accessibility | 3Com 3C840 guide

1-14CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW

	■ Test the network accessibility.
	■ Ping a remote site
	■ Check the routing tables on configured protocols

How to Manage the You can manage the OfficeConnect Remote 840 either through the
OfficeConnect	Command Line Interface (CLI) or through a web browser. If you choose to
Remote 840	manage the unit through CLI, see the OfficeConnect Remote 840 SDSL
	Router CLI User's Guide, included on the CD shipped with your unit.

If you choose to use a web browser, you will use the web browser-based OfficeConnect Remote 840 Manager. This user-friendly system is the preferred method of management. The OfficeConnect Remote 840 Manager uses the HTTP protocol via a web browser (such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer) to allow you to easily setup and manage the OfficeConnect Remote 840. In order for the OfficeConnect Remote 840 Manager to function correctly, you will need to use at least Netscape Navigator 4.0 or Internet Explorer 3.02. Internet Explorer 4 is provided on the OfficeConnect Remote 840 Installation CD.

You do not need to be connected to the Internet to use this method.

The main features of the OfficeConnect Remote 840 Manager are:

■ Complete configuration control.

■ Configuration Audit for detecting errors.

■ Troubleshooting and monitoring capabilities. ■ Capability to download software updates.

The OfficeConnect Remote 840 must have an IP address and an administrative login profile (username and password) in order to connect to it with a browser. The IP address and administrative login profile are automatically created when the unit is initially configured using the IP Wizard or in DHCP Smart Mode or Default Bridge Mode, or the IP address and administrative login profile can be created using the CLI.

See the OfficeConnect Remote 840 SDSL Router Installation Guide for information about assigning an IP address and creating an administrative login profile.
