You may want to add an external modem to your Auxiliar y por t so that you can manage it even if the Internet
connectyion isn’t functioning. Obtain the special DB-25 external modem cable (TE6/DB25) either from your
reseller or directly from Netopia.
Netopia R5000 Series Auxiliary port for connecting an external modem
By default, the Auxiliar y por t on your Netopia R5000 Series is enabled for remote console-based management
via an external modem. This means that all you have to do is connect your modem to the Auxiliar y por t and
configure the router for any AT command string your modem requires 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.”
