RouteFinder RF500S User Guide
Using Telnet to Configure your RouteFinder
Telnet is a telecommunications software utility which allows you to access a remote device. The
RouteFinder RF500S has a built-in Telnet Server that enables a Telnet client to remotely configure the
device using a menu system.
Important: Non-Windows operating system users must use the Telnet menu system to define the
function of the WAN and async ports, to define how IP addresses are administered, to configure IP
addresses on your local and remote systems and to set up any necessary virtual server, routing table
and packet filtering options.
Note: To successfully configure your router using Telnet, TCP/IP must be correctly configured on your
computer. The router and computer must also be located on the same subnet.
1. Start your telnet session and connect to the RouteFinder RF500S using the router’s default IP
address of
192.168.2.1 and vt100 terminal emulation.
If you are using a graphical interface such as the one shown above, click Connect.
2. When prompted to input the Router Password, press Enter.
3. The RF500S Telnet Server Menu displays.
To use the menu, type the letter corresponding to the parameter you’d like to change.
Depending on the parameter you are changing, you are presented with an open field into which you
may type new information, or you are presented with a list of options from which you may select a
value. Each menu item is described in the following pages.
Note: After entering parameters for all settings that you want to change, continue to type “q“ to
return to the previous menu until you reach the main Telnet Server menu. Select Save and
Restart Server to save your new configuration.
