Applications Setup
In addition to local configuration, the RouteFinder supports various applications that enable it to be
configured remotely from anywhere on the connected Internetwork. To manage these applications,
click Others on the Router Setup screen.
The Applications Setup dialog box appears.
Enter a valid Router Password to make changes through the Applications Setup dialog box. Verify
that the desired applications are enabled. By default, the RouteFinder enables all six built-in server
applications and SNMP. To disable any of these applications, click the corresponding check box.
In the Terminal Server group, enter the IP address of the Default Telnet host in the text box that is
provided. After first checking the WAN port specific Telnet host address field on the Port Setup dialog
box, the router will look in this field for the address of a Telnet host. If both fields are empty, the user
will be asked to type in the address of the Telnet host. (If DNS resolver is enabled, and DNS Name
server is available, the user can enter the domain name, instead of an IP address).
In the Asynchronous Gateway (AG) Server group, 16 is the recommended maximum number of
IPX Receive commands allowed per session. The Display Connection Manager Menu option enables
a user to select either a default Logon screen with a list of hosts awaiting connection (check box is
enabled) or an optional screen that merely displays the words, CONNECTION MANAGER (check
box is not enabled). In the former case, the user can see and select the number correlating to the
desired host. At the optional screen, the user will be prompted for a user name and password and will
have to then enter the appropriate information to access the host (if that host happens to be
available).
The check boxes in the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) group can be used to enable
or disable SNMP management support and set up various conditions for messages. Normally, all the
message items are left disabled to prevent degradation in router performance.
For more information on using these remote configuration applications, refer to Chapter 5 - Remote
Configuration and Management.
