To access the console screens, Telnet to the Netopia Router over your Ethernet network or physically connect
with a serial console cable and access the Netopia Router with a terminal emulation program. See “Connecting
through a Telnet session” on page 6-2 or “Connecting a console cable to your router” on page 6-3.
Note: Before continuing, make sure you have the information that your telephone service provider, ISP, or
network administrator has given you for configuring the Netopia Router.
The Netopia Router’s first console screen, Main Menu, appears in the terminal emulation window of the
attached PC or Macintosh computer when:
The Netopia Router is turned on
The computer is connected to the Netopia Router
Telnet or the terminal emulation software is running and configured correctly
