As shown in
, when you run the terminal emulation program or Telnet program on a
PC to connect to the router successfully, the router can still function as a client to access another
device on the network by using the following one or more methods.
8.1.1 Telnet Method
To configure and manage remote device on the network, you can use the router that you have
logged in to as a client to log in to the device, or use the redirection terminal service on
therouter to log in to the device.
Telnet is an application layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite. It provides remote login and
a virtual terminal service through the network.
The AR2200 provides the following Telnet services:
l
Telnet server: You can run the Telnet client program on a PC to log in to the router,
configure and manage it. The router acts as a Telnet server.
l
Telnet client: You can run the terminal emulation program or the Telnet client program on
a PC to connect with the router. With the
telnet
command, you can log in to other routers
to configure and manage them. As shown in
,Router A serves as both the Telnet
server and the Telnet client.

Redirection terminal services: You can run the Telnet client program on a PC to log in to
the router through a specified port number. Then connect with the serial interface devices
that are connected with the asynchronous interface of the router, as shown in
.
The typical application is to connect the asynchronous interface of the router with multiple
devices for their remote configuration and maintenance.
