Accessing the Router Administrator Software
Accessing the Router Administrator Using the Ethernet Port
You can access the Router Administrator software using the Ethernet port via Telnet. For Windows users, if you want to use Telnet, you must configure the preferences and font from the Terminal menu each time as shown below.
Click Font to set the font as shown here.
Note: Windows users may want to obtain HyperTerminal Private Edition from Hilgraeve, which supports Telnet protocol and serial port protocol.
Before you can access the Router Administrator software, you must set up your computer for TCP/IP. See Appendix B, Configuring the Router for TCP/IP.
To access the Router Administrator software using the Ethernet port and Telnet:
1From the computer connected to the router, start Telnet or your terminal emulation software.
Be sure that your terminal emulation software is configured to use TCP/IP.
2Enter the host address (currently the default IP address). The default IP address is 10.0.0.1.
Note: If the IP address you entered does not work, ask the system administrator to free an IP address for you to use temporarily until you have finished the configuration.
3Enter the port number.
The port number is default port 23.
Note: To use 10.0.0.1 you must be on a private network within the same subnet octets such as 10.0.0.X, otherwise use ARP (see Appendix B, Configuring the Router for TCP/IP).
