If you encounter problems during your initial configuration process, review the following suggestions before
calling for technical suppor t. There are four zones to consider when troubleshooting initial configuration:

1.

The computer’s connection to the Netopia D-Series

2.

The Netopia D-Series’s connection to the telecommunication line(s)

3.

The telecommunication line’s connection to your ISP

4.

The ISP’s connection to the Internet

If the connection from the computer to the Netopia D-Series was not successful, verify that the following
conditions are in effect:

The Netopia D-Series is turned on.

An Ethernet cable connects your PC’s Ethernet card or built-in Ethernet por t to the Netopia D-Series.

Telnet is available on your PC or Macintosh. (On a PC, it must be specified in your system path. You can
usually find the application as “c:\windows\telnet.exe”.)

Your PC or Macintosh is properly configured for TCP/IP.

Your PC or Macintosh has an IP address.

Your PC or Macintosh has a subnet mask that matches or is compatible with the Netopia D-Series’s subnet
mask.

Note: If you are attempting to modify the IP address or subnet mask from a previous, successful configuration
attempt, you will need to clear the IP address or reset your Netopia D-Series to the factor y default before
reinitiating the configuration process. For fur ther information on resetting your Netopia D-Series to factor y
default, see

“Factor y defaults” on page 9-96
