2.
Confirm the WAN line is connected. One twisted pair cable (RJ-45 or RJ-11) should be connected between
Line 1/Telco 1 port on the router and the wall jack (or the DSL/Cable modem if you have an R9100
Ethernet to Ethernet router).
3.
Connect your router to your Ethernet network. If you do not have an existing hub/switch on your network,
you should connect an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) between any of the 8 ports on the built-in hub of the router
and the Ethernet port on your Windows PC. If you do have an existing hub/switch you would like to connect
to your router, you should connect an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) between Ethernet port 1 (bottom far right port)
on the router and an available port on your hub/switch. When this is done, set the Normal/Uplink switch to
the Uplink position (pushed in). Please note the built in hub of your router will only be able to communicate
10 BaseT.
4.
If you are unsuccessful connecting to your router with Step II, Step III requires a console connection to your
router. Connect your router to your Windows PC using the serial console cable, connectors DB-9 to DB-9.
The console cable needs to be connected to the console port on the back of your router, and an available
Com port on the back of your Windows PC.
Step II: Configure a Windows PC and telnet to the router
Note: By default, all Netopia R-Series routers have an Ethernet IP Address of 192.168.1.1, and also have
DHCP (IP Address Serving) enabled. A limited or 12 user model router will serve all IP addresses from
192.168.1.3 - 192.168.1.14, and an unlimited user model will serve 100 IP addresses starting at
192.168.1.100. This step will instruct you on how to statically assign TCP/IP properties to the Ethernet
adapter of your PC in order to telnet to your router and confirm the configuration.
1.
First, you must configure the TCP/IP properties of your PC's Ethernet Adapter. From your Windows desktop,
go to the Start Menu -> Select Settings -> Control Panel -> and double-click on Network.
