1-2CHAPTER 1: ACCESSING THE CONFIGURATION INTERFACE

UNIX-Based Computers

Kermit, minicom and tip are typical terminal emulation programs for UNIX-based computers. Depending on the platform you’re using, you may need to modify a configuration file for vt100 settings.

Remote Connection If you want to attach to the OCR 812 via the LAN or WAN interface of the unit, you will need to establish a Telnet connection to the unit.

The OCR 812 must have an IP address and an administrative login profile (username and password) in order to connect to it with Telnet. 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. The default username is 'root' and the default password is '!root'. Refer to the OCR 812 ADSL Router Installation Guide for information on the IP Wizard or DHCP Smart Mode initialization. Alternatively, the IP address and administrative login profile can be created with CLI using the QuickSetup program or using individual commands.

From Windows 95, you can go to the DOS Window and run:

telnet <ip_address>

This will bring up the login prompt for the unit. Once you have successfully logged in, the Command Line Interface presentation is the same as if you were locally attached.

When you want to terminate your Telnet session, type quit at the CLI prompt.
