Accessing the Console
You can change the setting in the console to modify the functionality of the NBG440 unit.
The NBG440 router provides CLI (Command Line Interface) in the text mode to setup and operate
built-in functions, which can be used after the console is connected.
You can access the console through a serial connection or an Ethernet connection.
Serial Connection
For a user of a serial connection, you connect a console cable to your computer and
NBG440’s console port. You then use any communication program that supports vt100
emulation (HyperTerminal or Zterm) to communicate directly with the NBG440 unit
through the computer’s COM port.
Note: If random or illegible characters appear on your display, you probably have a
communications-setting problem. Mask sure that your communications software is
configured as follows :
[Table 3-1] Console software parameters
PARAMETER VALUE
Bits per Second 9600
Data Bits 8
Parity N
Stop Bit 1
Flow Control None
Terminal Type VT100
Telnet Connection
Once the NBG440 router has been configured with an IP address, you can use the IP
address to open a Telnet session with the unit from any workstation on the same
Ethernet network. The NBG440 router can be configured using a program that supports
Telnet protocol. If the system uses Windows 95 or 98 as an operating system, all you
need to do is just to run the Telnet application in the folder or run the Telnet program in
the Start menu. Like the Telnet, you can run the execution program in the folder where
software packages supporting the Telnet protocol were installed.
