Connecting through a Telnet Session
Features of the Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 can be configured through the console screens.
Before you can access the console screens through Telnet, you must have:
■A network connection locally to the router or IP access to the router.
Note: Alternatively, you may have a direct serial console cable connection using a provided console cable and the Console port on the back of the router. Some models do not have a console port. For more information on attaching the console cable, see “Connecting a Console Cable to your Equipment” on page
■Telnet software installed on the computer you will use to configure the router
Configuring Telnet software
If you are configuring your device using a Telnet session, your computer must be running a Telnet software program.
■If you connect a PC with Microsoft Windows, you can use a Windows Telnet application or simply run Telnet from the Start menu.
■If you connect a Macintosh computer, you can use the NCSA Telnet program supplied on the Netopia CD. You install NCSA Telnet by simply dragging the application from the CD to your hard disk. Mac OS X users can run Telnet in the Terminal application, found in the Mac OS X Utilities folder.
