Internal termination switch

Non-North American The Netopia Router includes an internal termination switch for models only terminating the S/T bus. The S/T bus is the connection from the

Router to the NT1 or wall jack on your ISDN line. The S/T bus must be properly terminated to avoid ISDN communications errors.

The Netopia Router ships with its internal termination switch set to the off position. This means that you should already have S/T bus termination. If you are unsure of whether you have S/T bus termination, contact your ISDN service provider.

If you do not have S/T bus termination, you should set the internal termination switch to the on position.

The switch is located just inside a rear-panel ventilation hole that is visibly larger than the other holes, as shown in the following illustration:

Use a pointed object, such as a pen, to carefully reach inside the correct ventilation hole and slide the switch to the left. This is the on position, with termination in effect.
