System configuration screens

You can connect to the Netopia 4553’s system configuration screens in either of two ways:

By using Telnet with the Router’s Ethernet por t IP address

Through the console por t, using a local terminal (see

“Connecting a console cable to your router” on

page 5-27

)

You can also retrieve the Netopia 4553’s configuration information and remotely set its parameters using the
Simple Network Management Protocol (see

“SNMP” on page 12-188
