Using Telnet

The router can now be accessed via the LAN by the included
Windows-based Configuration program, Telnet and SNMP
management applications. For more detailed information regarding
these procedures, please refer to the Connecting the Router section of
this manual. For more information about the submenus, please refer to
the Configuration and Management section of this manual.

Using Telnet via WAN

Preparing the router for management by telnet over WAN lines
requires more initial configuring of the router via the console.

To do this, you must configure a WAN port for dial-in users. Please
refer to Step 3b - Configuring the WAN Ports for Dial-in, Dial-out and
Leased Lines
section on page 19 of this manual.

System Timeout

When you are connected to your DI-1162 via

Telnet

, there is a

system timeout (in the System Information sub-menu), adjustable to a
maximum of 90 minutes. If you are logged onto the device and leave it
inactive for this timeout period, the router will automatically disconnect
you.
