John, it seems as though my original configuraton points are valid. I hope you now understand my concerns. I'll bet SFW is feeling foolish. I hope im not tempted to continue this as my point has been made. Time for a yoki bear picnic for awhile as I promised Hatim Privately Id leave. Regards and dig into your investment.

Because the configuration items available vary widely between similar devices from different manufacturers, and even between similar products from the same manufacturer, I don't know it would even really be possible to design a standard protocol that would handle all possible situations. Recently, a number of manufacturers have been incorporating HTTP servers into their products, so that they may be managed and configured remotely with a standard web browser. A few vendors develop their own proprietary configuration and management tools for remote use. These may be stand-alone applications, or they may integrate with another management software system, such as the HP OpenView SNMP manager. The majority of IP manageable infrastructure devices support the TELNET or (less commonly) rlogin protocols to allow remote users to access the device's user interface remotely as though they were connected via a serial cable. This assumes that the device has a text-only user interface accessible through a serial port. I seem to recall evaluating in the past a Wi-LAN product that had to be configured laboriously using only a push-button and three tri-color LEDs, or something to that effect. I don't recall the exact details, but I do remember considering the unit virtually unconfigurable at the time.
