Connecting to the Advanced Configuration screens
There are three ways to connect to the Netopia Router’s advanced
configuration screens:
■
Through the console port, using a local terminal (see the
Getting
Started
Guide
)
■
Using Telnet with the Router’s Ethernet port IP address (cannot
be used for initial configuration)
■
Over analog phone lines using a modem and terminal emulation
software (see “Connecting a modem to the SmartPort,” below)
You can also retrieve the Netopia Router’s configuration information
and remotely set its parameters using the Simple Network
Management Protocol (see “SNMP” on page 9-17).
Note:
Web-based management does not support advanced
configuration.
Connecting a modem to the SmartPort
The Netopia Router has a SmartPort (also known as a PC Card port or
a PCMCIA card port) for attaching a PC Card Type II modem. The port
has two Type II slots and is located on the router’s left side behind a
pull-down cover.
You may want to attach a Farallon approved PC Card modem to the
Netopia Router to remotely configure it or to upgrade its firmware (see
“Updating firmware” on page 10-14 or page 10-18.) Contact Farallon
Customer Service for information on Farallon approved PC Card
modems.
