If you do not see the Main Menu, verify that:

■If you are using a serial connection, that your serial port speed is the same as the Netopia 4541/4542’s default 9600 baud, for first use.

■The computer used to view the console screen has its serial port connected to the Netopia 4541/4542’s Console port or an Ethernet connection to one of its Ethernet ports. See “Connecting a console cable to your router” on page 5-3or “Connecting through a Telnet session” on page 5-2.

■Telnet or the terminal emulation software is configured for the recommended values.

■If you are connecting via the Console port, your computer’s serial port is not being used by another device, such as an internal modem, or an application. Turn off all other programs (other than your terminal emulation program) that may be interfering with your access to the port.

■You have entered the correct password, if necessary. Your Netopia 4541/4542’s console access may be password protected from a previous configuration. See your system administrator to obtain the password.

See Appendix A, “Troubleshooting,” for more suggestions.

Quick Easy Setup connection path

If your ISP assigns your Router a Static IP address, do the following:

1.Open a Telnet session to 192.168.1.1 to bring up the Main Menu.

If you don't know how to do this, see “Connecting through a Telnet session” on page 5-2.

Alternatively, you can connect the console cable and open a direct serial console connection, using a terminal emulator program. See “Connecting a console cable to your router” on page 5-3.
