Chapter 16 Remote Management Screens
16.1.1What You Can Do in the Remote Management Screens
•Use the Telnet screen (see Section 16.2 on page 198) to configure through which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use Telnet to manage the NWA. A Telnet connection is prioritized by the NWA over other remote management sessions.
•Use the FTP screen (see Section 16.3 on page 199) to configure through which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to manage the NWA. You can use FTP to upload the latest firmware for example.
•Use the WWW screen (see Section 16.4 on page 200) to configure through which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use the Web Browser to manage the NWA.
•Use the SNMP screen (see Section 16.5 on page 203) to configure through which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) a network systems manager can access the NWA.

TelnetTelnet is short for Telecommunications Network, which is a
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows you to upload or download a file or several files to and from a remote location using a client or the command console.
WWWThe World Wide Web allows you to access files hosted in a remote server. For example, you can view text files (usually referred to as ‘pages’) using your web browser via HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
SNMPSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite used for exchanging management information between network devices.
Your NWA supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the NWA through the network. The NWA supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation. .
