Configuring setting with
console commands
The product functions can be configured by sending
commands (console commands) directly. You can change
settings via TELNET or SSH, and also enter console
commands from “Basic configuration page” to configure
settings. If you change settings via TELNET or SSH,
prepare an appropriate software program supporting your
TELNET or SSH environment.
What is console command?
The console command is a method to configure functions
by directly sending instructions to the router. Using console
commands enables you to configure more detailed settings
than using other methods. Please refer to “Command
reference” (included in the attached CD-ROM) for more
details on console commands.
Note
You should fully understand the behavior of a console command
before using it. After configuring a setting in “Basic configuration
page”, if you change the setting with a console command, an
unintended operation may be resulted. Be sure to check whether
the command behaves as you intended after changing the setting.
Tip
The product can be configured with console commands from a
PC that is connected to the console port of the product using a
serial cable (page 121).
Register TELNET, SSH, or SFTP users
In the “Add user” screen, register users to be permitted to
log in using TELNET or SSH. TELNET allows a user to
log in as an anonymous user even if s/he is not registered,
but SSH allows only registered users to log in.
For more details on the settings, click “Help” on the setup
screen and refer to the description displayed.

From “Basic configuration page”, click the buttons on the
setup screen in the following order:
▶
“Advanced settings” in the top page
▶
“Configure” of “Configure users and access limits(HTTP,
TELNET, SSH, SFTP)”
▶
“Configure” of “Number of registered users” in the
“Configure user and password” field
