telnet connection (see chapter 3).

3. Configuration and management
3.1. Telnet connection
To connect to the router the network interface in your PC has to be
in the same IP subnet as the router. By default the router’s Ethernet
interface is set to 10.0.0.1 address and 255.0.0.0 netmask, so the PC
may have IP address set to 10.0.0.2 and the same netmask.
If the router was already configured and the routing table is
correctly set up, a telnet connection to its IP address is possible from
anywhere in the network.
After connecting a password prompt will appear:
User Access Verification
Password:
The default password is “ Tahoe” (case sensitive). If the
password entered is correct, a command prompt will appear:
Tahoe>
3.2. Serial console
If the telnet connection is not possible (e.g. there’s no telnet client
available or the router’s IP address is unknown), the router may be
connected to the PC’s serial port using a null-modem cable. After starting
a terminal software (e.g. minicom under Linux operating system,
®
Hyperterm under Microsoft Windows™) user gets the same access as
through the telnet connection. After pressing Enter the same command
prompt appears:
Tahoe>
By default the console access isn’t password protected, but such
protection may be enabled later using “console password” command.
