16.2 What You Can Do in the Remote
Management Screens
•Use the Telnet screen (see Section 16.4 on page 190) to configure through
which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use Telnet to manage
the ZyXEL Device. A Telnet connection is prioritized by the NWA over other
remote management sessions.
•Use the FTP screen (see Section 16.5 on page 191) to configure through which
interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) to manage the ZyXEL Device. You can use FTP to upload the latest
firmware for example.
•Use the WWW screen (see Section 16.6 on page 192) to configure through
which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) you can use the Web Browser
to manage the ZyXEL Device.
•Use the SNMP screen (see Section 16.7 on page 194) to configure through
which interface(s) and from which IP address(es) a network systems manager
can access the ZyXEL Device.
