If you will be assigning an IP address to the Netopia D-Series other than the default 192.168.1.1, it is best to
access the unit through the serial console.
You can per form all of the system configuration activities for your Netopia D-Series through a local serial
console connection using terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal provided with Windows95 on the
PC, or ZTerm, included on the CustomerCare CD, for Macintosh computers.
The Netopia D-Series back panel has a connector labeled “Console” for attaching the Netopia D-Series to either
a PC or Macintosh computer via the serial por t on the computer. (On a Macintosh computer, the serial por t is
called the Modem por t or Printer por t.) This connection lets you use the computer to configure and monitor the
Netopia D-Series via the console screens.
