Adding an external modem

You may wish to add a third (external) modem to gain additional speed for your Internet connection. You will
need to obtain the special external modem cable either from your reseller or directly from Netopia. Refer to the
sheet of optional feature set add-ons in your Netopia R2020 documentation folio.

Netopia R2020 Auxiliary port for connecting a third modem

By default, the Auxiliary por t on your Netopia R2020 is enabled for an external asynchronous modem. This
means that all you have to do is connect your modem to the Auxiliar y por t and configure its settings in the Line
Configuration screens under the WAN Configuration menu. For detailed configuration instructions see
