Chapter 5 - Using Telnet to Configure Your RouteFinder
Telnet is a telecommunications software utility which allows you to access a remote device.
The RouteFinder RF802EW has a built-in Telnet Server that enables a Telnet client to
remotely configure the device using a menu system.
Important: Non-Windows operating system users must use the Telnet menu system to
define the function of the WAN and async ports, to define how IP addresses are
administered, to configure IP addresses on your local and remote systems and to set up
any necessary virtual server, routing table and packet filtering options.
Note: To successfully configure your router using Telnet, TCP/IP must be correctly
configured on your computer. The router and computer must also be located on the same
subnet.
Starting a Telnet Session

routers default IP address of 192.168.2.1 and vt100 terminal emulation.
If you are using a graphical interface such as the one shown above, click Connect.
2. When prompted to input the Router Password, press Enter.
