CONFIGURING AND MONITORING A DSL LAN EXTENDER
DEVICE
Accessing System
Access to the System Management Main Menu can be done either through a Console Port or LAN Port
(Telnet):
• CONSOLE PORT – The console port is located at the rear panel of all Black Box's DSL LAN
Extender devices. Console connection is through an RS-232 DB9 cable to the terminal/computer's
serial COM ports. Users may choose to use any terminal emulation software (PROCOMM Plus is
recommended).
Note: Hardware flow control should be disabled and S/W download via HyperTerminal is NOT
supported.
• TELNET – Once the IP Address is assigned to the DSL LAN Extender device, users can "Telnet" to
the DSL LAN Extender device remotely for system configuration. An appropriate IP address must be
configured to the DSL LAN Extender device through a console terminal before the telnet command
can be used.
Default Password
The password is required to access any of the Main Menu's sub-menus. You will need to re-enter the
password each time the device is reboot or connection is timed out. The default password is set to
"password". You may change the password in the main menu.
