Types of User Interfaces
The 5600 router provides two user interfaces in both bridge and router
mode:
• Web interface – provides simple setup screens for quick configuration
and an advanced configuration interface.
• Command-line user interface – allows quick configuration and
provides status and configuration information. Only the command-line
interface is available over the serial port connection.
Web Interface
The web interface for the router first displays a page showing the current
configuration of the router. The first page also has a menu with links to the
following web pages:
Simple Setup Presents configuration forms where you can enter the
minimum configuration parameters needed to configure
the router for use on the network.
Advanced Setup Leads to a more detailed interface with several links that
allow more in-depth configuration of the router. This
interface provides a menu with links to the following web
pages:
• Configuration Procedures
• Status and Statistics
• Command List
