Easy Setup Security Conﬁguration

6-38 Getting Started Guide

7.Toggle IP Address Serving to On or Off, depending on whether you want the device’s IP address server to supply dynamic IP addresses to your client workstations. Normally, you would accept the default On so that workstations on your LAN can have IP addresses assigned dynamically from the router.

8.The IP address server will provide 100 IP addresses automatically to workstations on your LAN. You only need to change the Number of Client IP Addresses if you have some other IP addressing scheme.

9.By default, the 1st Client Address is 192.168.1.100, based on the device’s default IP address of 192.168.1.1. You only need to change this if you have some other IP addressing scheme.

10.Press the Down arrow key until you reach NEXT SCREEN. Press Return.

Easy Setup Security Conﬁguration

The Easy Setup Security Conﬁguration screen lets you password-protect your Netopia 4652. Input your Write Access Name and Write Access Password with names or numbers totaling up to eleven digits.

If you password protect the console screens, you will be prompted to enter the name and password you have speciﬁed every time you log in to the console screens. Do not forget your name and password. If you do, you will be unable to access any of the conﬁguration screens.

Additional security features are available. See the Firmware User’s Guide chapter on “Security”.
