Netopia r3100-u Verweisanleitung

Before you can access the console screens through Telnet, you must have:

■

a network connection locally to the router or IP access to the router through the WAN por t. This could be 
the same connection as the one you used with Smar tStar t and the "Easy" path. If you used the default 
configuration for Smar tStar t, your IP address will be 192.168.1.1.

Note: Alternatively, you can have a direct serial console cable connection using the provided console cable 
for your platform (PC or Macintosh) and the “Console” por t on the back of the router. For more information 
on attaching the console cable, see 

 below.

■

Telnet software installed on the computer you will use to configure the router

If you are configuring your router using a Telnet session, your computer must be running a Telnet software 
program.

■

If you connect a PC with Microsoft Windows, you can use a Windows Telnet application or simply run Telnet 
from the Star t menu.

■

If you connect a Macintosh computer, you can use the NCSA Telnet program supplied on the Netopia 
R3100 CD. You install NCSA Telnet by simply dragging the application from the CD to your hard disk.

You can per form all of the System Configuration activities for your Netopia R3100 through a local serial console 
connection using terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal provided with Windows 95 or 98 on the 
PC, or ZTerm, included on the Netopia CD, for the Macintosh.

The Netopia R3100 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, the serial por t is called the Modem 
por t or the Printer por t.) This connection lets you use the computer to configure and monitor the Netopia R3100 
via the console screens.
