5.2.13 Applications Setup
This dialog box lets you set up support for Telenet, TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), WEB, and
Asynchronous Gateway servers in the RouteFinder
100 . This dialog box is displayed by clicking on the
Applications button in the Router Setup dialog box.
Telnet is an applications level protocol commonly found in IP based networks that allow terminal emulation at
a remote workstation. To do this, there is usually a server at a central point that allows multiple clients to
connect and request to use the service. The service could be anything. Usually it is terminal emulation. The
MultiRotuer has a Telnet server that allows multiple clients to view statistics information from the box. Telnet
is usually implemented over TCP.
TFTP is a file transfer protocol that uses UDP and provides a simple method for transferring files between two
nodes (one the server and the other the client).
The RouteFinder 100 also supports Multi-Tech's Communications Services Interface (MCSI), Asynchronous
Gateway server, or AG server or Netware Communications Services Interface (NCSI). In order to avail this
service every asynchronous communication line has a unique MCSI name across the internetwork.
Router Password
The RouteFinder 100 can be accessed for configuring, monitoring and dialing out on the internet. In order to
ensure security for such accesses, a passwork can be provided in this filed.
Enable Telnet Server
The RouteFinder 100 has a built-in Telnet Server. Using any standard Telnet client, authorized users can
access the server and perform the following:
1) Dial out - Using a Telnet client, a user with proper authority (assigned in the user database) can dial-out on
certain specific ports of the RouteFinder
100 to connect to services like BBSes. The RouteFinder 100 has three
WAN ports which can be used for dial-out. But, a WAN port will NOT be available for dialing out if:
It is already used for routing,
It is already used for dialing out,
There is a call back in progress,
It is used for configuring a device connected on it,
It is a port setup to dial-out to connect to another router,
If it is not configured as an asynchronous port.
2) View router configuration and statistics - Any one who has the router password can access the router
with any standard Telnet client to view the configuation and statistics.
3) Modify router configuartion - Any one who has the router password can access the router with any
standard Telnet client to modify the configuration.
4) WAN device configuration - Any communication device connected to a WAN port can be directly
accessed using this option. This is useful in setting up devices like modem, ISDN Terminal Adapter, etc., for
routing opertions. At the end of WAN degfice configuration the router reboots automatically.
