13.1.2  Remote Management and NAT

When NAT is enabled:

•   Use the 1500WR Wireless Router’s WAN IP address when configuring from the WAN. y    Use the 

       1500WR Wireless Router’s LAN IP address when configuring from the LAN.

13.1.3  System Timeout

There is a system timeout of five minutes (three hundred seconds) for either the console port or telnet/

web/FTP connections. Your 1500WR Wireless Router automatically logs you out if you do nothing in 

this timeout period, except when it is continuously updating the status in menu 24.1 or when sys stdio 

has been changed on the command line.

13.2 Telnet

You can telnet into the 1500WR Wireless Router to perform remote management.

13.3 Configuring TELNET
