System configuration screens

You can connect to the Netopia 4553’s system configuration screens in either of two ways:

■By using Telnet with the Router’s Ethernet port IP address

■Through the console port, using a local terminal (see “Connecting a console cable to your router” on page 5-27)

You can also retrieve the Netopia 4553’s configuration information and remotely set its parameters using the Simple Network Management Protocol (see “SNMP” on page 12-188).

Open a Telnet connection to the router’s IP address; for example, “192.168.1.1.”

The console screen will open to the Main Menu, similar to the screen shown below:
