Configuration and Management
After the initial startup (POST) test, the router will prompt you for login and
password. This is the opening page of the router’s out-of-band configuration
program, called the Console program. The Console program is stored in the Flash
memory chips in the router and the settings are written in EEPROM chips in the
router. It is the most basic level for configuring and managing the router and the
network to which it is connected.
If you’re starting the router for the first time, the default login and password is
“Admin” – the login and password are case-sensitive, alphanumeric characters.
Note that once you are in the
Main Menu
, if there is no activity for more than 5
minutes, the router will automatically log you out. Your first endeavor should be to
increase the ‘timeout’ time by adjusting the appropriate value in the
System
Information
sub-menu.
The router can also be configured remotely through a LAN or ISDN connection by
using the included Router Configuration Utility or Telnet. However, if you wish to
do this, the console program must first be used to initially configure the relevant port
on the router. Please see
Step 7 - Initial Configuration of the Router
on page 12 of
this manual for more detailed information.
