If you are using a serial connection, that your serial por t speed is the same as the Netopia 4553’s default
9600 baud, for first use.

■

The computer used to view the console screen has its serial por t connected to the Netopia 4553’s
Console por t or an Ethernet connection to one of its Ethernet por ts. See

Telnet or the terminal emulation software is configured for the recommended values.

■

If you are connecting via the Console por t, your computer’s serial por t 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 inter fering with your access to the por t.

Quick Easy Setup connection path

If your ISP assigns your Router a Static IP address, do the following:

Open a Telnet session to 192.168.1.1 to bring up the Main Menu.

If you don't know how to do this, see

“Connecting through a Telnet session” on page 5-26

Alternatively, you can connect the console cable and open a direct serial console connection, using a
terminal emulator program. See

“Connecting a console cable to your router” on page 5-27
