Setting Up Internet Services

This chapter describes how to obtain and set up Internet services.

This section covers the following topics:

■“Finding an Internet service provider” on page 2-1

■“Deciding on an ISP account” on page 2-2

■“Obtaining information from the ISP” on page 2-3

Note: Some companies act as their own ISP. For example, some organizations have branch ofﬁces that can use the Netopia R7200 to access the Internet via the main ofﬁce in a point-to-point scenario. If you install the Netopia R7200 in this type of environment, refer to the following sections for speciﬁc information you must receive from the network administrator to conﬁgure the Netopia R7200 properly.

Finding an Internet service provider

The Netopia R7200 SDSL Router provides its high speed symmetric (two-way) digital connection to the Internet through a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) -- a type of mini phone company. The CLEC uses a compatible type of switching equipment known as a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM). The DSLAM that you connect to with your Netopia Router must be capable of handling these symmetric connections. The Netopia R7200 is certiﬁed for use with the Nokia Speedlink™ DSLAM.

If you have purchased your Netopia Router through a Netopia ISP partner, you can be sure that an account that supports SDSL connections will be available.

If your area has more than one ISP, the following considerations will help you decide which ISP is best suited for your requirements.

In determining which Internet service provider (ISP) to establish your account with, make sure that your ISP supports connections via a CLEC with a compatible DSLAM, the Nokia’s Speedlink™ central ofﬁce equipment.

Use an ISP that provides Internet access through a Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL) and that supports the Netopia R7200 SDSL Router. If you would like to use an ISP that you already have a relationship with but that is not familiar with the Netopia R7200, call us at 1-800-NETOPIA. Our representative can call your ISP and introduce them to the product. If necessary, we will provide them with the technical background they need to support the product.
