Configuring Telnet software
If you are configuring your router using a Telnet session, your computer must be running a Telnet software
program.
■ If you connect a PC with Microsoft Windows, you can use a Windows Telnet application or simply run Telnet
from the Start menu.
■ If you connect a Macintosh computer, you can use the NCSA Telnet program supplied on the Netopia 4652
CD. You install NCSA Telnet by simply dragging the application from the CD to your hard disk.
Connecting a Console Cable to Your Router
You can perform all of the system configuration activities for your Netopia 4652 through a local serial console
connection using terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal provided with Windows 95, 98, 2000, or
NT on the PC, or ZTerm, included on the Netopia CD, for Macintosh computers.
The Netopia 4652 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. Newer Macintosh models have USB ports, so you may need a third-party adapter.)
This connection lets you use the computer to configure and monitor the Netopia 4652 via the console screens.
Netopia 4652 back panel
To connect the Netopia 4652 to your computer for serial console communication, use a console cable
appropriate to your platform:
■ A DB-9 connector end attaches to a PC.
■ A DB-9 end of the Console cable attaches to the Netopia 4652’s Console port.
■ If you connect a PC with Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, 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 4652 CD.
