Management Methods

The DES-3216 supports three management methods:

Local Console Management

Telnet Management

D-View/ SNMP Management

Local Console Management

Local Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console port. Managing the DES-
3216 in this mode requires a direct connection between a PC and the DES-3216.

Telnet Management

Telnet is done over the network. Once the DES-3216 is on the network, you can use Telnet to
log in and change the configuration.

D-View/ SNMP Management

The DES-3216 supports SNMP through D-View, D-Link’s proprietary SNMP application
and through other vendors’ SNMP applications. Please refer to the appropriate
documentation for instructions on installing and using D-View and other SNMP applications.

Updating Firmware

Firmware can be updated quickly and easily. See the section Software Update Menu,
Chapter 5, for instructions on updating firmware.
