How to Use this Guide

In addition to the documentation contained in the accompanying

Firmware User’s Guide

, this guide is designed to get you up and running and connected to your local area network and the Internet. It is intended to be viewed on-line, using the powerful features of the Adobe Acrobat Reader. The information display has been deliberately designed to present the maximum information in the minimum space on your screen. You can keep this document open while you perform any of the procedures described, and ﬁnd useful information about the procedure you are per forming.

You can also print out all of the manual, or individual sections, if you prefer to work from hard copy rather than on-line documentation. The pages are formatted to print on standard 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. We recommend that you print on 3-hole punched paper, so that you can put the pages in a binder for future reference.

This guide is organized into chapters describing the Netopia 4522’s advanced features. You may want to read each chapter’s introductory section to familiarize yourself with the various features available.

This section tells you how to make the physical connections to your Netopia 4522 T1 Router. This section covers the following topics:

■

“Find a Location” on page 2-1

■

“What You Need” on page 2-1

“Identify the Connectors and Attach the Cables” on page 2-3

■

“Netopia 4522 T1 Router Status Lights” on page 2-5

Find a Location

When choosing a location for the Netopia T1 Router, consider:

■

Available space and ease of installation

Physical layout of the building and how to best use the physical space available for connecting your Netopia

■

T1 Router to the LAN

■

Available wiring and jacks

■

Distance from the point of installation to the next device (length of cable or wall wiring)

Ease of access to the front of the unit for conﬁguration and monitoring

■

Ease of access to the back of the unit for checking and changing cables

■

Cable length and network size limitations when expanding networks

For small networks, install the Netopia 4522 near one of the LANs. For large networks, you can install the Netopia 4522 in a wiring closet or a central network administration site.

What You Need

Locate all items that you need for the installation.

Included in your router package are:

The Netopia 4522 T1 Router

■

A power adapter and cord with a mini-DIN8 connector

■

One Category 5 Ethernet cable

■

One Category 5 WAN (or Line) cable

A DB-9 to DB-9 console cable

■

The Netopia CD containing software and documentation

2-2 Getting Started Guide

You will need:

■

A Windows–based PC or a Macintosh computer with Ethernet connectivity for conﬁguring the Netopia 4522. This may be built-in Ethernet or an add-on card, with TCP/IP installed and conﬁgured. See “Sharing the

Connection” on page 4-1.

A T1 wall outlet wired for a connection to a telephone carrier who suppor ts T1 connections.

Important Safety Instructions

CAUTION: Depending on the power supply provided with the product, either the direct plug-in power supply blades, power supply cord plug or the appliance coupler serves as the main power disconnect. It is important that the direct plug-in power supply, socket-outlet or appliance coupler be located so it is readily accessible.

CAUTION (North America Only): For use only with a CSA Cer tiﬁed or UL Listed Limited Power Source or Class 2 power supply, rated 12Vdc, 1.5A.

TELECOMMUNICATION INSTALLATION CAUTIONS

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.

3. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Port Description

T1 WAN port An RJ-48 jack labeled WAN for your T1 connection. Ethernet por t RJ-45 10/100Base-T Ethernet jack. You will use this to conﬁgure the Netopia 4522. For

a new installation, use an Ethernet connection. Alternatively, you can use the console connection to run console-based management using a direct serial connection. You can either connect your computer directly to the Ethernet por t using a crossover Ethernet cable (not supplied), or connect both your computer and the Netopia 4522 to an existing LAN environment.

Console port A DB-9 console port for a direct serial connection to the console screens. You can use

this if you are an experienced user. See “Connecting a Console Cable to Your Router” on

page 5-3.

Power port A mini-DIN8 power adapter cable connection.

1. Connect the mini-DIN8 connector from the power adapter to the power port, and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.

2. Connect one end of the Category 5 cable to the T1 port, and the other end to your T1 wall outlet.

3. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet por t on the router and the other end to your computer.

You should now have: the power adapter plugged in; the Ethernet cable connected between the router and your computer; and the T1 cable connected between the router and the T1 wall outlet.

This chapter describes how to physically connect the Netopia 4522 to your local area network (LAN). Before you proceed, make sure the Netopia 4522 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 5-1).

TCP/IP stack:

protocols. TCP/IP stacks must be conﬁgured with some of the same information you used to conﬁgure the Netopia 4522. There are a number of TCP/IP stacks available for PC computers. Windows 95 includes a built-in TCP/IP stack. Macintosh computers use either MacTCP or Open Transport. See “Conﬁguring TCP/IP on

Windows-based Computers” on page 4-1. Macintosh computers use either MacTCP or Open Transport. See “Conﬁguring TCP/IP on Macintosh Computers” on page 4-5.
