Connecting to Your Local Area Network 3-13 Chapter 3 Connecting to Your Local Area Network This chapter describes how to physically connect the Netopia 4652 to your local area network (LAN). Before you proceed, make sure the Netopia 4652 is properly configured. You can customize the router’s configuration for your particular LAN requirements using console-based management (see “Console-Based Management” on page 5-25).
3-14 Getting Started Guide Once the Netopia 4652 is properly configured and connected to your LAN, PC and Macintosh computers that have their required components in place will be able to connect to the Internet or other remote IP networks. Connecting to an Ethernet Network You can connect a standard 10/100Base-T Ethernet network to the Netopia 4652 using any of its available Ethernet ports.
Connecting to Your Local Area Network 3-15 If you add devices connected through a hub or switch, connect the hub or switch to any Ethernet port on the Netopia 4652. If you have more than four devices to connect, you can attach additional devices using standard Category 5 Ethernet cables (not provided) connected to a 10- or 100Base-T Ethernet hub or switch. All of the ports on the router will auto detect 10- or 100Base-T. Crossover cables are not required.

Console-Based Management 5-25 Chapter 5 Console-Based Management Console-based management is a menu-driven interface for the capabilities built into the Netopia 4652. Console-based management provides access to a wide variety of features that the router supports. You can customize these features for your individual setup. This chapter describes how to access the console-based management screens.
5-26 Getting Started Guide may be using the router to connect to more than one service provider or remote site.
Console-Based Management 5-27 Configuring Telnet software If you are configuring your router using a Telnet session, your computer must be running a Telnet software program. ■ If you connect a PC with Microsoft Windows, you can use a Windows Telnet application or simply run Telnet from the Start menu. ■ If you connect a Macintosh computer, you can use the NCSA Telnet program supplied on the Netopia 4652 CD. You install NCSA Telnet by simply dragging the application from the CD to your hard disk.
5-28 Getting Started Guide Launch your terminal emulation software and configure the communications software for the values shown in the table below. These are the default communication parameters that the Netopia 4652 uses. Parameter Suggested Value Terminal type PC: ANSI-BBS Mac: ANSI, VT-100, or VT-200 Data bits 8 Parity None Stop bits 1 Speed 9600 - 57600 bits per second Flow Control None Note: The router firmware contains an autobaud detection feature.
