Router Configuration

This chapter contains information about configuring your Model RM356 Modem Router through the built-in Manager interface.

Configuration Methods

If you are using a PC, you have the following two options to configure your router:

Through FirstGear

FirstGear is an easy-to-use Windows-based utility that leads you through a Quick Setup or an Advanced menu for configuring your router. For FirstGear instructions, refer to Getting Started Using FirstGear for the Model RM356 Modem Router.

Through the built-in Manager inter face

If you are using a Macintosh or UNIX-based workstation, the built-in Manager interface is the only way that you can configure your router through your computer. However, you can use a PC to configure the router and then connect the router to the Macintosh or workstation after the configuration process is complete.

The built-in Manager interface is accessible through either a serial or a Telnet connection (refer to

Connecting Through the Serial Port” or “ Connecting Through a Telnet Connection” on page 2-9 of Chapter 2, “ Router Installation and Connection”). If the router has not previously been assigned an IP address, you cannot connect through a Telnet session. You must use a serial connection.
