Telnet Server support

Attention:
are sent over the network in plain, unencrypted, text.
The NAS Gateway 300 includes Telnet server capability. The Telnet server provides
limited administrative capability. This can be useful in cases where you need to
remotely administer the NAS Gateway 300, but do not have access to a
Windows-based workstation (from which you could remotely administer the
appliance through a supported Web browser or Terminal Services Client).
To access the NAS Gateway 300 from any Telnet client, specify the IP address or
host name of the NAS Gateway 300, then log in using an ID and password (defined
on the NAS Gateway 300) with administrative authority. From the command line,
you can issue DOS-like commands (such as dir and cd), and some UNIX-like
commands (such as grep and vi). You can launch some applications, but only
character-mode applications are supported.
By default, the Telnet server is disabled. To enable the Telnet server, from the
Windows 2000 for NAS user interface, go to the Network task group, then select
Telnet. On the Telnet Administration Configuration page, select the Enable Telnet
access to this appliance check box. If you do not require Telnet access to the
NAS Gateway 300, then it is recommended that you leave the Telnet server
disabled.

SNMP support

Support for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is enabled. To
manage the NAS Gateway 300 from an SNMP-capable management application,
you must install the management information base (MIB) files for various
components of the NAS Gateway 300 on the management application workstation,
so that the application can recognize those SNMP elements (values, alerts, and so
on) supported by the components.
