To connect the Netopia D-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 D-Series's Console port.
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
CustomerCare CD.
Launch your terminal emulation software and configure the communications software for the values shown in
the table below. These are the default communication parameters that the Netopia D-Series uses.

Note: The Netopia D-Series firmware contains an autobaud detection feature. If you
are at any screen on the serial console, you can change your baud rate and press
Return (HyperTerminal for the PC requires a disconnect). The new baud rate is
displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Features of the Netopia D-Series can be configured through the console screens via Telnet.
Before you can access the console screens through Telnet, you must have:
A network connection locally to the Netopia D-Series or IP access to the Netopia D-Series.
The default IP address of the Netopia D-Series is 192.168.1.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. In order to
perform the initial configuration via Telnet your computer must have an IP address between 192.168.1.2
and 192.168.1.254, subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Caution: If you change the Netopia D-Series's IP address to some value outside of this range, you may lose
contact with the unit via Telnet.
