Chapter 16 Remote Management Screens

16.2What You Can Do in the Remote Management Screens

Use the Telnet screen (see Section 16.4 on page 190) to configure through which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use Telnet to manage the ZyXEL Device. A Telnet connection is prioritized by the NWA over other remote management sessions.

Use the FTP screen (see Section 16.5 on page 191) to configure through which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to manage the ZyXEL Device. You can use FTP to upload the latest firmware for example.

Use the WWW screen (see Section 16.6 on page 192) to configure through which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use the Web Browser to manage the ZyXEL Device.

Use the SNMP screen (see Section 16.7 on page 194) to configure through which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) a network systems manager can access the ZyXEL Device.
