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

By using Telnet with the Netopia D-Series’s Ethernet port IP address. The default is 192.168.1.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

Through the console port, using a local terminal (see “Connecting a console cable to your Netopia D-Series” on page 5-36)

You can also retrieve the Netopia D-Series’s configuration information and remotely set its parameters using the Simple Network Management Protocol (see “SNMP” on page 7-57).

Open a Telnet connection to the Netopia D-Series’s IP address; for example, the default “192.168.1.1.”

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