You can telnet to the router. Which interface are you changing, the WAN or the LAN? Sounds like a WAN interface. No problem changing that from a telnet session.<br />

Our system with Windows 2000 server. System connected with out Mobile operator through Frame Relay connection. In order to this Cisco 1600 series router connected through Console Port. <br />
Now we have to configure our router with new IP Address,Subnet Mask,Bandwidth etc. When i try to connect router using HyperTerminal, it is giving error &quot;Unable to open COM1. Please check port settings.&quot;<br />
In the device manager it is showing that, COM1 is working properly.<br />

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
