Remote Management
This section describes typical client applications that can be used to configure the RouteFinder
remotely. It is important to note that although any subsequent changes to configuration can be made
using these applications, the initial setup and configuration of the RouteFinder must be done on the
local PC using the RouteFinder software provided with your unit.
Although establishing access to the RouteFinder varies between applications, the configuration
functions mirror those of the RouteFinder software. For more information on RouteFinder software,
refer to Chapter 4 - RouteFinder Software.
Telnet
A typical Telnet client application is described in this section. The RouteFinder has a built-in Telnet
Server that enables Telnet client PCs to access the RouteFinder. A typical Telnet client is allowed to
configure the RouteFinder and WAN device.
The TCP/IP stack has to be loaded before the Telnet client, a Windows application, can run. Double-
Click the Telnet icon and a blank Telnet screen is displayed. Click the Connect menu; if the desired IP
Address is listed in the drop-down menu, select it. Otherwise, select Remote System and when the
Connect dialog box opens, enter the desired IP Address in the Host Name field and Click the
Connect button.
When you enter a valid Host Name (IP Address) and click the Connect button, you are immediately
connected to the target RouteFinder and the Router Management Menu screen is displayed.
