Contivity 1100 1

[Philbert221]

Hi all,
I've inherited the responsibility of managing a customers contivity 100. I have absolutely no experience with line of router.
I have the (public) IP address and username/password for the box but I can't seem to telnet(using putty) to it or http to it. I've run a port scanner on the IP address and I've been able to find out all the open ports on the system but with no positive result.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Contivity 100 or 1100? The title of the post says 1100, but you reference 100 in the body. They're quite different.

Got a console cable for it? You can use the username/password to talk to it that way.

You can't communicate with the device over the public side of the box - only through the internal management IP address. If you need to talk to the management side off site, you need to establish a VPN connection to it first.

I should reword - you can't communicate with the Contivity over the public interface for management purposes - management needs to be performed from the LAN or via a tunnel.

If it's a Contivity 100, you'll want the admin utility (Instant Internet admin client) to talk to the box.

Thanks for the response. It is a Contivity 1100 and I discovered that I had to VPN to the box and manage it from the inside. So I 'm good to go on that.
My other question is that the customer wants to add a static translation from a public address to to private one that just responds to telnet sessions. How do I add this rule?
The box is already doing a many to one NAT.

Trying to remember this from memory.

Open the nat policy you want to edit, right click, select "add rule after". Source is your internal address, method is static, translated source is the public address. Service would be telnet.

Hope I didn't butcher that explanation too bad - hard to remember what goes where when I'm not looking at the screen.
