Справочник Пользователя для Netopia 4000-Series

 

Many Netopia models include a serial console por t labeled “Console” on the back panel. You can per form all of 
the system configuration activities for your Netopia equipment through a local serial console connection, if 
available, using terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal provided with Windows 95, 98, 2000, or 
NT on the PC, or ZTerm, included on the Netopia CD, for Macintosh computers.

You attach the Netopia device 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. Since Macintosh computers have 
different serial bus connectors, you may need a USB-to-DB-9 or USB-to-serial adapter. These are available from 
a variety of third-par ty manufacturers.) This connection lets you use the computer to configure and monitor the 
Router via the console screens.

 

To connect to your computer for serial console communication, use a console cable appropriate to your 
platform:

application bundled with the operating system.
