CONFIGURATION IN TERMINAL PROGRAM MODE VIA

HYPERTERMINAL OR TELNET

You can use terminal emulation on your PC/workstation for the initial and future configuration of your DI-701. Windows HyperTerminal or other terminal emulation applications can be used. The following example was done with HyperTerminal.

If you prefer, a telnet session can be opened directly. Telnet provides the same type of terminal emulation. For security purposes, the DI-701 uses port 333 for telnet. All of the following configuration menus are identical in a telnet session, with the exception that any saved changes that result in the DI-701 rebooting will require you to open a new telnet session to reestablish a connection with the DI-701.

Getting Started (Hyperterminal)

1.Connect an RS-232 cable from one Serial COM port on your PC to your DI-701’s Serial Console port.

2.Go to Start àProgramàAccessoriesàCommunicationsàHyperTerminal.

3.When the Hyper Terminal window appears, double-click Hypertrm.

4.Name the new connection appropriately.

5.In the Connect To dialog box, select the COM port that connects to your DI-701.

The device supports ADSL standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of service providers.

Security is another key consideration in networking, and the D-Link DI-701 incorporates several essential security features. It offers Network Address Translation (NAT), which helps to hide internal IP addresses from the external network, thus providing an added layer of security. Additionally, it supports Firewall features that protect against unauthorized access, ensuring that the network remains safe and secure.

The device also comes with a user-friendly web-based interface, enabling users to manage and configure their network easily. From this interface, users can monitor network activity, set up parental controls, and manage bandwidth allocation for connected devices.

Moreover, the DI-701 supports Quality of Service (QoS) features, which prioritize bandwidth for different applications. This is particularly useful for users who stream video content or engage in online gaming, as it ensures a smoother and more responsive experience.

In conclusion, the D-Link DI-701 ADSL router stands out for its reliability, ease of use, and solid performance.
