2. Getting Started
This chapter explains how to access the EtherDevice Router for the first time. There are three ways to access
the switch: (1) serial console, (2) Telnet console, or (3) web browser. The serial console connection method,
which requires using a short serial cable to connect the EtherDevice Router to a PC’s COM port, can be used if
you do not know the EtherDevice Router’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser connection methods
can be used to access the EtherDevice Router over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet. A web browser can
be used to perform all monitoring and administration functions, but the serial console and Telnet console only
provide basic functions.
