returns the SNMP responses to the EasyWeb which in turn translates them back into HTTP responses
and forwards them back to the browser.
The console offers the most fundamental user interface for router management. The Hypertec Router
displays the ASCII based menu on a terminal, or on a PC running a terminal emulation program. The
console management focuses on the most basic management information such as “Quick Conf” for
Internet access, and Ethernet/ISDN statistical data.
Because it is the most feature rich and the easiest to use, the NMS alternative is clearly the
recommended choice for configuring and managing the Hypertec ISDN 10T Router. For this reason,
this chapter is mostly devoted to this alternative. Descriptions of the other two alternatives are
however, also included.

NMS Menu Structure
Once logged in, the main menu shows up with a title bar “ISDN Router NMS Manager” at the top,
system utilities (File, Diagnostic, Product info, View, Help) below it, and rest is the main body of the
main menu. The main body is organised into two levels. The top level menu contains six items: Quick

bottom level items. The rest of the main body shows the contents of the active sub-menu which is
determined by the top level menu item, and the bottom level menu item.
