The computer used to view the console screen has its serial port connected to the Netopia 4541/4542's
Console port or an Ethernet connection to one of its Ethernet ports. See

Telnet or the terminal emulation software is configured for the recommended values.
If you are connecting via the Console port, your computer's serial port is not being used by another device,
such as an internal modem, or an application. Turn off all other programs (other than your terminal
emulation program) that may be interfering with your access to the port.
You have entered the correct password, if necessary. Your Netopia 4541/4542's console access may be
password protected from a previous configuration. See your system administrator to obtain the password.
