Dual Ethernet ProxyServer User Guide
Remote Management
This section describes typical client applications that can be used to configure the ProxyServer
remotely. It is important to note that although any subsequent changes to configuration can be
made using these applications, the initial setup and configuration of the ProxyServer must be
done on the local PC, using the ProxyServer software provided with your unit.
Although establishing access to the ProxyServer varies between applications, the configuration
functions mirror those of the ProxyServer software. For more information on ProxyServer
software, refer to Chapter 4 - Proxy Server Software.
Telnet
A typical Telnet client application is described in this chapter. The Firewall ProxyServer has a
built-in Telnet Server that enables Telnet client PCs to access the ProxyServer. A typical Telnet
client is allowed to configure the ProxyServer and WAN devices. A typical TCP/IP program group
is shown below with a Tcpman icon and a Telnet icon.
The TCP/IP stack has to be loaded before the Telnet client (a Windows application) will run, and
the Telnet Server option has to be selected from the Applications Setup dialog box using Firewall
Configuration (see Chapter 4 - Applications). Double click on the Telnet icon (or shortcut) and a
blank Telnet screen is displayed. Click Connect | Remote System and the Connect dialog box is
displayed. Select (or enter) a Host Name (the IP address of the ProxyServer). In this example,
the Host Name is 192.168.2.4.
When you enter a valid Host Name (IP address) and click on Connect, you are immediately
connected to the target ProxyServer and the Firewall Management Menu screen is displayed.
