Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration and Management

Router Management

The Router Management Menu provides five functional options in addition to the option of escaping and closing the Telnet session.

Dial-Out

The Dial-out option (Option 1) on the Router Management Menu enables a Telnet user to configure the WAN port for a dial-out session. The default configuration of 115200 bps, 8N1 can be used for the dial-out session, or the user can specify each parameter for the port (e.g., the baud rate, the number of data bits, parity, or the number of stop bits). When the connection is established, anything entered on the keyboard is immediately presented to the WAN port. When the dial-out session is over, the WAN port reverts to its original configuration.

Router Management

The Router Management option (Option 2) on the Router Management Menu enables a Telnet user to view router statistics, the User List, system information. Another option enables the remote user to Reset the router.

Router Configuration

The Router Configuration option (Option 3) on the Router Management Menu enables a Telnet user to view and change parameters on the protocol stacks, high or low level device drivers, enable or disable the supported servers, or view system information.

WAN Device Configuration

The WAN Device Configuration option (Option 4 on the Router Management Menu) allows a remote user (a Telnet client) to gain access to the WAN port (if available) on the RouteFinder.

Remote User Database

The Remote User Database option (Option 5 on the Router Management Menu) allows a remote user to add user information such as Name and Password, callback information, and which protocol stacks to enable or disable.
