4.2.2. Accessing the Configuration and Monitoring Menu
The EQT router contains a configuration and monitoring menu that allows the user to change some
internal settings of the device and to monitor various components on the router. Before accessing the
configuration and monitoring menu via Ethernet, the IP address of the device must be set.
The configuration and monitoring menu can be accessed using the Telnet network protocol or a Serial
connection.
If there is a problem communicating over Ethernet, the user should check that there is a network
connection to the router from a PC command prompt by typing
ping
followed by the IP address (example
–
ping 192.168.245.17
). If there is no reply from the device using the
ping
command, check the network
settings using the telnet/serial menu.
All menu items can be accessed using the number listed beside the menu item. Once in a menu, use the
numbers beside the items to set the value. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the value of the
parameter, and then save and exit the configuration.
When all desired changes have been made, exit the Telnet session by hitting CTRL+] or closing the
Telnet session window.

a PC using the Telnet function. Using an telnet client, Telnet into the configuration and monitoring menus
of the device by typing
telnet
followed by the IP address of the EQT, and then followed by 23 (example
–
telnet 192.168.245.17 23
).
