Instead of a remote configuration with LANconfig it is also possible to access over ISDN with Telnet. For a remote configuration of a LANCOM with Telnet over any PPP client proceed as follows:
I
- Establish a connection to the LANCOM with your PPP client using the
following details:
- User name 'ADMIN'
- The password selected in LANCOM
- An IP address for the connection, only if required
- Open a Telnet session to the LANCOM. Use the following IP address for
this purpose:
- '172.17.17.18', if you have not defined an IP address for the PPP client. The LANCOM automatically uses this address if no other address has been defined. The PC making the call will respond to the IP '172.17.17.17'.
- Raise the IP address of the PC by one, if you have defined an address. Example: You have set the IP '10.0.200.123' for the PPP client, the LANCOM then responds to '10.0.200.124'. Exception: If the digits '254' are at the end of the IP address, the router responds to 'x.x.x.1'.
- You can configure the LANCOM remotely just like all other devices.
Note: Always provide additional protection for the settings of the device by
setting a password. Alternatively, enter the following command during
a Telnet or terminal connection:
passwd
You will then be prompted to enter and confirm a new password.
