Adding an external modem

You may want to add an external modem to your Auxiliar y por t. Obtain the special DB-25 external modem cable
(TE6/DB25) either from your reseller or directly from Netopia.

Netopia R7200 Auxiliary port for connecting an external modem

By default, the Auxiliar y por t on your Netopia R7200 is enabled for remote console configuration via 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 pinout information on the HD-15 to DB-25 modem cable, see

“Pinouts for Auxiliar y por t modem cable,” in

Appendix F, “Technical Specifications and Safety Information.”
