You can per form all of the system configuration activities for your Netopia R5000 Series through a local serial
console connection using terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal provided with Windows 95 on the
PC, or ZTerm, included on the Netopia CD, for Macintosh computers.
The Netopia R5000 Series back panel has a connector labeled “Console” for attaching the Router 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 R5000 Series via the console screens.
To connect the Netopia R5000 Series to your computer for serial console communication, use the supplied dual
console cable connector end appropriate to your platform:
■
One DB-9 connector end attaches to a PC.
■
The mini-DIN8 connector end attaches to a Macintosh computer.
■
The DB-9 end of the Console cable attaches to the Netopia R5000 Series’s Console por t.
■
If you connect a PC with Microsoft Windows 95 or NT, you can use the HyperTerminal application bundled
with the operating system.
■
If you connect a Macintosh computer, you can use the ZTerm terminal emulation program on the supplied
Netopia R5000 Series CD.
