Setting Up Local Management
Local management refers to the process of managing and configuring the settings of
your router for your network environment. It is done via a PC connected to your
router.
Before running local management, communication between your router and your PC
has to be configured and established for them to 'understand each other'. You need
to setup a physical link between your router and the PC via a serial cable as
described in
Section 1.1
.
Section 1.2
will show you how to configure the interface link
to allow communication between your PC and your router.
Setting up of local management needs only to be carried out once
for the same PC. However if you are connecting your router to
another PC, you will need to run
section 1.1
and
1.2
again.
