(If you are connecting the router to an existing Ethernet hub, use Ethernet por t #1 on the router and set the
crossover switch to the Uplink position.)
You should now have the power adapter plugged in, the Ethernet cable connected between the router and
your computer, and either the Serial cable connected to a CSU/DSU or modem (R5100 Serial) or the Line
cable connected between the router and the Line wall outlet (R5200 DDS and R5300 T1).

A DB-15 serial por t labelled Line 1 - Serial for your external CSU/DSU or modem
connection.
Line por ts
A telephone-style jack labeled “Line 1” for your T1 or DDS WAN connection. Use
the “Line 1" por t, NOT “Line 2." The Line por t is not used for a Serial
connection.

Crossover switch
A crossover switch with Normal and Uplink positions. If you use Ethernet Por t

Eight Ethernet jacks. You will use one of these to configure the Netopia R5000

you can use the console connection to run console-based management using a
direct serial connection. You can either connect your computer directly to any of
the Ethernet por ts on the router, or connect both your computer and the router
to an existing Ethernet hub on your LAN.
