DI-1162 Remote Access Router

Using Telnet

The DI-1162 router can be configured and managed using telnet. Telnet accesses the same built-in configuration program as the RS-232 Diagnostic port console connection. As such, all settings that can be adjusted through the console can also be configured using Telnet.

Telnet Configuration

In order to use telnet, the DI-1162 router must first be configured using a console connected to the RS-232 Diagnostic port. Depending on the placement of the management station using telnet, the initial configuration requirements for the router are as follows:

Using Telnet via LAN

Preparing the router for management by telnet over the LAN only requires enabling the LAN port, enabling telnet, and assigning the LAN port an IP address. To do this:

1.Connect a console to the RS-232 Diagnostic port on the front panel of the router and run a terminal emulation program (for more information, see Connecting the Console to the Router and Setting Up the Console sections of this manual).

2.Enable the LAN port in the Interface Configuration sub-menu.

3.Assign an IP address to the LAN port in the Network Configuration sub-menu.

4.Enable Telnet in the Advanced Functions submenu.

5.Connect the router to the LAN.
