Situations in which the device is configured vary—as do the personal requirements and preferences of the person doing the configuration. LANCOM routers thus feature a broad selection of configuration software:
- LANconfig– nearly all parameters of the LANCOM can be set quickly and with ease using this menu-based application. Outband, inband and remote configuration are supported, even for multiple devices simultaneously.
- WEBconfig – this software is permanently installed in the router. All that is required on the workstation used for the configuration is a web browser. WEBconfig is thus independent of operating systems. Inband and remote configuration are supported.
- SNMP – device-independent programs for the management of IP networks are generally based on the SNMP protocol. It is possible to access the LANCOM inband and via remote configuration using SNMP.
- Terminal program, Telnet – an LANCOM can be configured with a terminal program via the config interface (e.g. HyperTerminal) or within an IP network (e.g. Telnet).
- TFTP – the file transfer protocol TFTP can also be used within IP networks (inband and remote configuration).
The following table shows, how you can use the configuration:
| Configuration software | LAN, WAN, WLAN (Inband) | Config Interface (Outband) | ISDN remote configuration | Analog dail-in (with LANCOM Modem Adapter Kit) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LANconfig | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| WEBconfig | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| SNMP | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| Terminal program | No | Yes | No | No |
| Telnet | Yes | No | No | No |
| TFTP | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
Note: Please note that all procedures access the same configuration data.
For example, if you change the settings in LANconfig, this will also
have a direct effect on the values under WEBconfig and Telnet.
