Initial Router Configuration
This chapter contains information about configuring your Model RT338 ISDN Router with the
FirstGear Router Configuration Utility, or through the built-in Manager interface.
Configuration Methods
If you are using a PC, use one of the following options to configure your router:
• FirstGear
FirstGear is an easy-to-use Windows-based utility that leads you through a Quick Setup or
an Advanced menu for configuring your router.
• Manager interface
If you are using a Macintosh or UNIX-based workstation, the built-in Manager interface is the
only way that you can configure your router through your computer. However, you can use a
PC to configure the router and then connect the router to the Macintosh or workstation after
the configuration process is complete.
The built-in Manager interface is accessible through a serial or a Telnet connection. Refer to
“Connecting Through a Serial Port” on page 3-6, or “Connecting Through a Telnet
Connection” on page 3-13. If you do not know the current IP address of your router, you
cannot connect through a Telnet session. In this case you must use a serial connection.
