Introduction
This chapter provides procedures for viewing or changing the configuration of a remote unit. Two
methods are provided to access a remote unit; the first method is modem based and the second
method is using IP. Within the IP method, three applications can be used: 1) LAN-Based using TFTP
(Trivial File Transfer Protocol), 2)Telnet as a client application, or 3) a standard web browser on the
Internet.
Remote Configuration
Remote configuration requires the RouteFinder software to be loaded on the local PC. The local PC
then controls the remote RouteFinder either via the modem connection or the LAN.
Modem-Based
To remotely configure a RouteFinder, a local PC needs to be connected to a dial-up line and the
RouteFinder software configured to call the remote RouteFinder. The remote RouteFinder needs to
have a modem connected to a dial-up line and the Command Port. Once the connection to the remote
unit is made, you can change the configuration as you see fit. Once the configuration is changed, you
can down load the new configuration to the remote RouteFinder.
1. At the remote site, remove the serial cable from the PC to the Command Port connector on the
back panel of the RouteFinder.
2. At the remote site, connect a special cable (Remote Configuration Cable) from the Command Port
connector on the back panel of the RouteFinder to the RS-232 connector on the modem. The
special cable is a serial cable with male connectors on both ends. Refer to Appendix A for cable
details.
Connect the modem to your local telephone line.
Provide your telephone number to the person verifying your configuration.
Configure the remote modem for 19200 baud and turn on Force DTR.
3. At the main site, connect your local PC to a modem that is connected to a dial-up line.
4. Install the RouteFinder software on the local PC. When installed, click Start | Programs |
RouteFinder | Configuration Port Setup, or double click on the Configuration Port icon.
5. The Port Setup dialog box is displayed.
