Configuration and management
ELSA routers are always dispatched with up-to-date software in which
several of the settings have already been made.
It will nevertheless be necessary for you to add some information and
configure the router to your specific needs. These settings are made as part
of the configuration process.
This section will show you the programs and routes you can use to access the
device and specify further settings.
We will also provide instructions on a simple approach to performing the
basic configuration of the unit.
And, if the team at ELSA has produced new firmware with new features for
your use, we will show you how to load the new firmware.

Inband configuration is not possible, however, in the event of a network fault.
Remote configuration is also dependent on an ISDN connection.

software: The inband configuration requires one of the computers already
available in the LAN or WAN, as well as only one suitable software, such as
ELSA LANconfig
(see following section). In addition to the configuration
software, the outband configuration also requires one of the computers (with
a serial port) and a suitable configuration cable. The preconditions are most
