Connecting Your Local Area Network 4-5
Remote console
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 an administrator with the
appropriate security to remotely configure your router for you.
Obtain the special external modem cable (Netopia Part Number TE6/DB25) either from your reseller or directly
from Netopia. Refer to the sheet of optional feature set add-ons in your Netopia R3100 documentation folio.
Netopia R3100 Auxiliary port for connecting an external modem
By default, the Auxiliary port on your Netopia R3100 is enabled for 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 detailed configuration instructions see
“Auxiliary Port Configuration” on page 8-10.
For pinout information on the HD-15 to DB-25 modem cable, see “Pinouts for Auxiliary Port Modem Cable,” in
Appendix L, “Technical Specifications and Safety Information.”
