Router Management
The Router Management Menu provides four 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
one of the WAN ports 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 Configuration

The Router Configuration option (Option 2) 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.

Protocol Stacks

The Protocol Stacks option on the Router Configuration menu provides the options for setting up the
following protocols: IPX, IP, Spanning Tree, and SNMP. Choosing the Protocol Stacks option (Option
1) in the Router Configuration menu displays the Protocol Stacks Menu. To review the IPX routing
information, you can enter the number “1” to display the options to enable/disable IPX, enable or
disable AutoLearn, change the Router Name, change the Network Number, etc.
