Either: 1. Get a USB to Serial adapter for your laptop or 2. Do initial setup from a PC which has a COM port, enable the LAN and give it IP address, enable telnet and set passwords, telnet in to the router. BR, S

@James, if the router is new I think it must have a default http config utility. Therefore, setup on a network and http to the config page in the router. Set your basic parameters and set vty connection to allow telnet into box. Is this possible for you?

Aki, the problem is, How do I connect to this router in the first place to do the basic configs and enable vty On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 5:24 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

@james, Most should have the default http server enabled to setup basic configs, unless yours is different. If new, pls check your boxes it should have the http default settings for you to access.

@James
Configure you PC/Laptop for DHCP, connect your laptop to the LAN port of the router(not sure of the exact model you have), then you will get assigned an IP address in the range of the management IP. If you check the auto-assigned ip settings your gateway should be the router. Goodluck! R D
