Local LAN IP address information to obtain

Your ISP will need to provide you with the following information:

■The default gateway IP address

■Remote IP address

■Local WAN IP address and subnet mask

■Primary and secondary domain name server (DNS) IP addresses

■Domain name (usually the same as the ISP’s domain name unless you have registered for your own individual domain name)

Refer to the section “Quick Easy Setup connection path” on page 7-3 for a handy worksheet.

Note: The default gateway, WAN address and mask, DNS, and domain name are all obtainable via WAN DHCP, if your ISP supports it.

With Network Address Translation

If you are using SmartIP (NAT), you should obtain the following:

■If you are connecting to a remote site using Network Address Translation on your router, your provider will not define the IP address information on your local LAN. You can define this information based on an IP configuration that may already be in place for the existing network. Alternatively, you can use the default IP address range used by the router, where 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the router.

Without Network Address Translation

If you are not using Network Address Translation, you will need to obtain all of the local LAN IP address information from your ISP and you will need to pay for an IP address for each device on the network.

If you are not using SmartIP (NAT), you should obtain:

■The Ethernet IP address for your Netopia R9100

■The Ethernet IP subnet mask for your Netopia R9100

■An IP address for each device on your network, in the same network range as the Netopia R9100.
