Reference Guide for the Model RT210/RT211 ISDN Routers
2-12 Installing and Connecting
Table 2-1 describes the LED activity that shows the status of the router.
Using the FirstGear ISDN Router Configuration Utility
If you are using a PC, NETGEAR provides FirstGear, an easy-to-use Windows-based utility that
leads you through a Quick Setup or an Advanced Setup menu for configuring your router. For
FirstGear instructions, refer to Getting Started Using FirstGear.
Connecting Through a Serial Port or a Telnet Connection
If you are using a Macintosh or UNIX-based workstation, using the built-in interface is the only
way that you can configure your router. If you are using a PC, you can use either the built-in
interface or FirstGear to configure your router.
You can use the built-in interface by connecting through a serial port connection to the Manager/
LAN port using a VT100 terminal or a PC-based terminal emulation program. You can also
connect across the LAN through a TCP/IP Telnet session.
