Configuration Setup
Once the router is installed, it can be accessed locally through the menu-driven user
interface via an asynchronous terminal or PC connection, or remotely via a Telnet
session, and the router’s interfaces can be provisioned. The following provisioning can
be set up:
Frame relay, ATM, and physical layer provisioning
– Typically set up by the
CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) using the menu-driven user interface
via an ASCII terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program, or a Telnet
session.
Router provisioning, using the CLI
– Typically accessed by the frame relay
service provider providing managed router service, or by the end user.
SLM provisioning
– Typically set up by the frame relay service provider or
the CLEC.
As soon as the router’s COM port is connected to a terminal or PC, the menu-driven
user interface can be accessed. The terminal or PC’s configuration must be compatible
with the router’s COM port settings.
