You may want to add an external modem to your Auxiliary port so that you can manage it even if the Internet
connectyion isn’t functioning. Obtain the special DB-25 external modem cable (TE6/DB25) either from your
reseller or directly from Netopia.
Netopia R5000 Series Auxiliary port for connecting an external modem
By default, the Auxiliary port on your Netopia R5000 Series is enabled for remote console-based management
via an external modem. This means that all you have to do is connect your modem to the Auxiliary port and
configure the router for any AT command string your modem requires 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.”
