Connecting a console cable to your router
You can perform all of the system configuration activities for your Netopia 3366C-ENT through a local serial
console connection using terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal provided with Windows on the
PC, or ZTerm, included on the Netopia CD, for Macintosh computers.
The Netopia 3366C-ENT back panel has a connector labeled “Console” for attaching the Router 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 3366C-ENT via the console screens.
To connect the Netopia 3366C-ENT to your computer for serial console communication, use the supplied
console cable.
If you connect a PC with Microsoft Windows 95 or NT, you can use the HyperTerminal application bundled with
the operating system.
If you connect a Macintosh computer, you can use the ZTerm terminal emulation program on the supplied
Netopia CD.
