Adding an external modem
You may want to add an external modem to your Auxiliary port. Remote modem terminal emulator setups can
dial in to the modem line and establish a remote console session. This allows Netopia Inc.'s “Up and Running,
Guaranteed!” department or other administrator with the appropriate security to remotely configure your router
for you.
Obtain the special external DB-25 modem cable (Netopia P/N TE6/DB25) either from your reseller or directly
from Netopia.
Netopia R9100 Auxiliary port for connecting an external modem
By default, the Auxiliary port on your Netopia R9100 is enabled for remote console configuration via an
external asynchronous modem. This means that all you have to do is connect your modem to the Auxiliary port
and configure its settings in the Line Configuration screens under the WAN Configuration menu.
Full Auxiliary Port PPP capabilities can be enabled on a Netopia R9100 as an upgrade option.
For pinout information on the HD-15 to DB-25 modem cable, see “Pinouts for Auxiliary port modem cable,” in
Appendix F, “Technical Specifications and Safety Information.”
