the manager interface is accessible by a telnet call from any tcp/ip workstation on the lan or the remote network. in order to use the telnet protocol, you must know the current ip address of the router. the router is shippped with a default address of 192.168.0.1.

    to establish a telnet connection from the lan, you must set up your workstation to reach the ip address of the router by doing one of the following:

    1 set your workstation to an ip address on the currently programmed subnet of the router.

    or

    2 add a route to the static routing table of the workstation to indicate that the router can be reached through the local lan port.

    to access the router by telnet from a windows pc:

    1. from the windows toolbar, select start.

    2. select run...

    3. in the open field, type:

    telnet 192.168.0.1

    4. click on ok.

    the router should respond with a "password:?prompt. type the current password to access the manager interface. the default password is 1234.

    when using telnet, consider the following restrictions:

    1?single administrator

    to prevent confusion and discrepancy on the configuration, the router allows only one telnet connection at any time.

    2?system timeout

    when you are connected to the router through telnet, there is a system timeout of 5 minutes (300 seconds). if you are not configuring the device and leave it inactive for this timeout period, the router automatically disconnects from the telnet session. an exception is made for menu 24.1, which displays current status and statistics. this menu will not time out.
