2.4 Configuring the Router
There is some setup required to get your ADSL Router working properly. The configuration of the ADSL
Router can be accessed in three ways:
z
Using TELNET via Ethernet interface
z
Using terminal program via serial console port
z
Using ADSL Configuration Tool (ACT) via serial console port
2.4.1 Using TELNET via Ethernet interface
To access the command line interface via Ethernet interface, you can use TELNET to log in the
Router from the local Ethernet network using the Ethernet IP address that assigned to your ADSL
Router. The Ethernet IP of the ADSL Router is default set to
192.168.7.1
.
1.
Select
Start->Programs->MS-DOS Prompt
.
2.
Find the IP address of the Router’s Ethernet port. Then use TELNET to login the Router. For
example,
TELNET
192.168.7.1
3.
You will see that a telnet dialog pops up asking for password (case sensitive), then enter
DSL
↵
(“DSL” for example in here, instead of your password that is same as your ADSL Router’s
Model)
4.
Then you will see the following prompt, DSL >
(“DSL” for example in here, instead of your
ADSL Router’s Model)
.
5.
Now you are ready to configure the Router by using command. Please contact your ISP/NSP
to obtain the detail command sets of your Router. If the Router does not return any message,
refer to Appendix B
for troubleshooting information.
