Netopia R910 Ethernet Router

Netopia R910 ethernet router The Netopia R910 we had access to is a large 4 port 10/100 ethernet router. An 8 port version of the router exists as pictured in one of the manuals on the Motorola web site . On the back of the router is a 9 pin serial cable for serial communication. We could be mistaken but the down side to this router appears to be that it doesn't seem to have a web interface - the router either gets set up through the Windows software or through a serial connection. We're not big fans of unusual power supply units and this particular model uses a small round 8 din connector for a 12V 1.5A power adapter. Support information is listed as http://www.netopia.com/support/ but Netopia was acquired by Motorola in 2007, so the best place to look for help is the Motorola web page for the 910 . Surprisingly it currently houses a lot more documentation than is typically included with most routers or available on web sites, including a serial cable wiring schematic.
