If you are using Windows, for example, Microsoft® provides HyperTerminal with Windows 95 and Windows 98. Be sure to set the program for VT100 emulation, including arrow keys. Serial port parameters are as follows: • 9600 bps • 8 data bits • 1 stop bit • No parity • No flow control When the serial connection has been established, press any key. The router should respond with a "Password:" prompt. Type the current password to access the Manager interface. The default password is 1234. Connecting Through a Telnet Connection You can access the built-in interface by a Telnet call from any TCP/IP workstation on the LAN or the remote network. In order to use the Telnet Protocol, you must know the current IP address of the router. If you do not know the router's current IP address, you must use a serial connection to assign an IP address.

Using the Manager Interface for Initial Router Configuration
Connecting Through a Serial Port
You can access the internal Manager interface through a serial port by using a VT100 terminal or
by using a terminal-emulation program on your PC or workstation. If you are using Windows, for
example, Microsoft
®
provides HyperTerminal with Windows 95 and Windows 98. Be sure to set
the program for VT100 emulation, including arrow keys.
Serial port parameters are as follows:

No flow control
When the serial connection has been established, press any key. The router should respond with a
“Password:” prompt. Type the current password to access the Manager interface. The default
password is 1234.
Connecting Through a Telnet Connection
You can access the built-in interface by a Telnet call from any TCP/IP workstation on the LAN or
the remote network. In order to use the Telnet Protocol, you must know the current IP address of
the router. If you do not know the router’s current IP address, you must use a serial connection to
assign an IP address. The router is shippped with a default address of 192.168.0.1.
To establish a Telnet connection from the LAN, you must set up your workstation to reach the IP
address of the router by doing one of the following:
•
Set your workstation to an IP address on the currently programmed subnet of the router.
•
Add a route to the static routing table of the workstation to indicate that the router can be
reached through the local LAN port.
