2.2.7 Local access via USB

When router is connected to a computer via a USB cable the computer creates a serial COM

port. The port number can be found in the Device Manager. To access the port use can be

made of either the OS-integrated terminal (Hyperterminal) or third-party terminal

programs.

With the fist connection of UHP-1000 Router to PC the system will request the device driver.

UHP.INF driver is available on CD with documentation or can be downloaded from

www.romantis.com. In response to the request for driver you should refuse from search in

Internet and select setting from the specified place where UHP.INF is saved.

The system will request confirmation for using a non-certified driver. Ignore any system

warnings and proceed with installation. When finished, please check whether a COM port

appeared in the Device Manager. If it is appeared you can start working with the router.

When working with the port from the terminal program the data rate and control

parameters can be set to any value since they are ignored.

WITH USB OC PROTOCOL STACK – THERE IS A PECULIARITY WHICH LEADS TO ―HANGING‖ OF

THE USB-PORT IF IT CARRIED AN ACTIVE SESSION AND THE CONNECTED DEVICE (ROUTER) AT

THIS MOMENT WAS REBOOTED. IN THIS CASE YOU HAVE TO LOG OUT FROM THE TERMINAL

PROGRAM AND LOG IN AGAIN. YOU CAN AVOID THIS BY CUTTING OFF THE SESSION BY ―HANG-

UP‖ COMMAND AND ONLY THEN RESTART THE ROUTER USING RESET BUTTON OR VIA POWER

SUPPLY CIRCUIT.

2.2.8 Remote Telnet access

Remote access to the configuration can be performed using Telnet protocol. The connection

can be provided to any of IP addresses that are set on the router. UHP-1000 supports

simultaneously only one Telnet session. In order the hang session does not block access to

the device forever in case on non-activity (pressing ENTER key), the router auto-terminates

the session after a certain time of inactivity. The time can be set in the configuration, and

by default it is 10 minutes.

There is one more (emergency) method to issue commands to the router remotely. One of

the SNMP variables allows, after a text string is transmitted to the router using SNMP

protocol, execution of this string as a command. The advantage of this method is that a

reverse channel for transmission of commands is not a must – this can be useful to restore

operation in emergency cases. Printout of command is not transmitted back as the SNMP

response? So command execution is ―blind‖.
