Accessing the Router Administrator Using the
Ethernet Port
You can access the Router Administrator software using the Ethernet port via Telnet. For
Windows users, if you want to use Telnet, you must configure the preferences and font
from the Terminal menu each time as shown below.
Before you can access the Router Administrator software, you must set up your computer
for TCP/IP. See
Appendix B, Configuring the Router for TCP/IP .
To access the Router Administrator software using the Ethernet port and Telnet:
1 From the computer connected to the router, start Telnet or your terminal emulation
software.
Be sure that your terminal emulation software is configured to use TCP/IP.
2 Enter the host address (currently the default IP address).
The default IP address is 10.0.0.1.
3 Enter the port number.
The port number is default port 23.
Note: Windows users may want to obtain HyperTerminal Private Edition
from Hilgraeve, which supports Telnet protocol and serial port protocol.
Note: If the IP address you entered does not work, ask the system
administrator to free an IP address for you to use temporarily until you
have finished the configuration.
Note: To use 10.0.0.1 you must be on a private network within the same
subnet octets such as 10.0.0.X, otherwise use ARP (see
Appendix B,
Configuring the Router for TCP/IP ).
