background

Flowpoint and Efficient Routers are setup with Network Address Translation. NAT allows many computers to access the Internet by masking behind one IP address while protecting the local area network from possible hostile intrusions via external networks. This serves as a basic firewall while still allowing general Internet use. With the default configuration, up to 254 hosts can be connected to the router.

 

router default settings
  • NAT enabled
  • Router LAN IP address: 192.168.254.254
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

 

prerequisites
  • A CAT 5 Ethernet cable or a Console Cable.
  • A computer with a 10BaseT or 10/100BaseT Network Interface Card that is properly installed.
  • A terminal emulation program such as Microsoft Windows Telnet or Hyperterminal
  • A Web browser such as Internet Explorer or Navigator.
  • The router must be physically connected to the DSL line.

 

setup

Open a telnet client (Hyperterminal, Secure CRT, etc.) and telnet to 192.168.254.254. This will display Login: with a cursor next to it. The login is the password of the router. The default password is admin. Type this in and hit Enter. If the correct password was entered it will display Logged in successfully! with a pound (#) sign underneath it. Enter in all commands, as displayed below, after the pound sign. Remember to hit Enter after every line.
