Management

You can install, configure, and operate the router within minutes after connecting it to the network.
Use your browser to configure for basic Internet access, or use Telnet to access the built-in
manager interface for advanced features.

Browser-based Setup Wizard

A browser-based Wizard allows you to easily configure your router for basic Internet access from
almost any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux.

Manager Interface

The Manager interface manages and configures the router through an easily understood screen
process. You can access this interface through the MANAGER port on the rear panel of the router.
Connect the workstation you are using to configure the router to this port. You can also access the
Manager interface from across the network, using a Telnet session.
Use the Manager interface in any of the following situations:
• You need to make one or more computers available for access from the Internet using port
forwarding.
• You need to create additional static routes.
• You need to create filters for incoming or outgoing data traffic.
