Using the SmartPort
Follow these steps to prepare to use the SmartPort (PC Card port):
1. Connect a standard PC Card modem to the port. See
“Connecting a modem to the SmartPort” on page 1-4 for more
information.
The modem will be initialized using the default string contained
in the PC Card Modem Init String item in the PC Card
Config/Firmware Transfer screen. Consult your modem’s user’s
guide and edit the default string it includes commands not
supported by your modem. You may choose to substitute
equivalent commands.
2. Connect a standard, working analog telephone line ( not an
ISDN line) to the modem.
3. Call the modem from another site using a computer, a modem,
and a terminal emulation program (like the one used with the
console port). The terminal emulation program should be
configured as specified in the
Getting Started guide.
Once you connect to the Netopia Router’s modem, you should see
the configuration screens. Press Ctrl-L if you connect but are unable
to see the screens.
