Connecting a console cable to your Netopia D-Series

If you will be assigning an IP address to the Netopia D-Series other than the default 192.168.1.1, it is best to access the unit through the serial console.

You can perform all of the system configuration activities for your Netopia D-Series through a local serial console connection using terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal provided with Windows95 on the PC, or ZTerm, included on the CustomerCare CD, for Macintosh computers.

The Netopia D-Series back panel has a connector labeled “Console” for attaching the Netopia D-Series to either a PC or Macintosh computer via the serial port on the computer. (On a Macintosh computer, the serial port is called the Modem port or Printer port.) This connection lets you use the computer to configure and monitor the Netopia D-Series via the console screens.
