Router and Gateway Management Features

Service Provisioning & Monitoring Options

Efficient Networks Business Class Routers and Gateways offer three methods for accessing settings and options. All

are easy to use, but the first is particularly convenient and does not require a lot of networking expertise on behalf of

the user. The latter two options use a non-graphical, command line interface (CLI) and thus require greater

familiarity with network and network devices. On the other hand, the CLI also provides direct access to all router

and gateway features and therefore also offers the greatest level of control and customization.

1. Easy Setup (discussed earlier) is a graphical user interface that can be accessed from a standard Web

browser. Easy Setup can be used to view and/or change router or gateway configuration, is easy to use, and

cycles through the typical settings.

2. Router and gateway management can also be accomplished by connecting a computer serial port directly to

the console port, using the console cable and connector supplied for this purpose. On the computer, a

terminal emulation program (such as the HyperTerminal applet included with Windows) set to emulate a

standard VT100 terminal establishes the direct PC-to-CPE the connection. Once connected and logged in,

direct commands can be issued to list and/or change settings and to monitor router or gateway operation.

3. A third router and gateway management option is Telnet. Telnet provides remote terminal-style access

similar to the direct console connection but over the network instead; a physical connection to the router or

gateway is not necessary. Once connected via Telnet, the same management and monitoring functions are

available as through the console connection.
