Router Configuration
This chapter contains information about configuring your Model RM356 Modem Router through
the built-in Manager interface.
Configuration Methods
If you are using a PC, you have the following two options to configure your router:
•
Through 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. For FirstGear instructions, refer to
Getting
Started Using FirstGear for the Model RM356 Modem Router
.
•
Through the built-in 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 either a serial or a Telnet connection (refer to
“
Connecting Through
the S
erial Port
” or
“
Connecting Through a Telnet Connection
” on
page 2-9
of
Chapter 2, “
Router Installation and Connection
”). If the router has not previously been assigned
an IP address, you cannot connect through a Telnet session. You must use a serial connection.
