D-Link DI-1162 manual Using the Console, Initial Configuration of the Router

DI-1162 Remote Access Router

Using the Console

The Console Program is the interface that you will be using to configure your DI-1162. Several operations that you should be familiar with before you attempt to modify the configuration of your router are listed below:

♦Moving Forward to Another Menu. To move forward to a sub-menu below the current one, use Tab or arrow keys to position the cursor on the sub-menu item and press Enter to view the selected sub-menu.

♦Moving the Cursor. Within a menu, use Tab and arrow keys to navigate through different information fields.

♦Entering Information. There are two types of fields that you will need to fill in. The first requires you to type in the appropriate information. The second gives you choices to choose from. In the second case, press the space bar to cycle through the available choices. Upon configuring all fields the sub-menu, position the cursor on SAVE and press Enter to save, or position the cursor on EXIT to cancel.

♦Refresh Screen. Console screens are notorious for becoming garbled. When this happens, simply press <Ctrl> + <R> to refresh the contents of the screen.

Step 3 - Initial Configuration of the Router

After the console is properly connected and both devices are powered on as described in the preceding sections, you should see the router run through the power on self test (POST). Finally, it will arrive at the logon screen shown below:
