Introducing Quick Remote
Quick Remote is a component of SmartBoot that enables a central site
to manage a remote router without specially trained personnel at the
remote site. This means that, with the proper network preparation, a
remote router can be installed and configured by simply removing it
from its shipping carton, mounting it properly, attaching the necessary
network cable(s), and connecting the power. Minimal configuration is
automatic! (This operation also applies to a previously installed remote
router that has been cleared to the factory default by using the
Clear/Reset button combination.)
Quick Remote appears in the Main menu of most HP routers. It is used
in a central router to enable any remote, series 200 or 400 HP router that
has a WAN port to automatically download a minimal IP or IPX
configuration over a WAN link from the central router.
After a remote router has received a minimal configuration from a Quick
Remote configuration in a central router, it reboots itself and begins IP
and/or IPX routing. The remote router can then be more extensively
configured, if necessary, by TFTP (Fput) or Telnet from another site.
(The Quick Remote configuration also enables or disables bridging on
the remote router.)
