Out-Of-Band Connections
As a backup method of reaching the Technician Interface and the BCC, you can
also access the router remotely through the modem port. This connection is called
a remote out-of-band connection. Out-of-band refers to the fact that it is not
dependent on a network connection, so that you can still communicate with your
router even if the network is down.
See Using Technician Interface Software for information about modem
connections and your installation guide for information abut connecting modems.
Router Memory Card Distribution
You can also distribute files to the router on memory cards. Some network
managers modify router files at a central location, save them to a memory card,
and then distribute the card to a remote office. Be sure to read the safety warnings
in the router’s installation guide before changing memory cards.
