Adding an external modem
You may want to add an external modem to your Auxiliary port. Obtain the special DB-25 external modem cable
(TE6/DB25) either from your reseller or directly from Netopia.
Netopia R7200 Auxiliary port for connecting an external modem
By default, the Auxiliary port on your Netopia R7200 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.
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.”
