WAN and System Configuration 8-9

Class A addresses are assumed to have a mask of 255.0.0.0

Class B addresses are assumed to have a mask of 255.255.0.0

Class C addresses are assumed to have a mask of 255.255.255.0. Class C address ranges are generally the most common subnet allocated.

If a remote network has a non-standard mask (that is, it uses subnetting), the only way for it to successfully connect to the Netopia Router is by matching a connection profile. In other words, you will have to set up a connection profile for that network.If Must Match a Defined Profile is set to No, you can also set the following parameters for accepted calls that do not match a connection profile:

Call acceptance scenarios

The following are a few common call acceptance scenarios and information on how to configure the Netopia R9100 for those purposes.

■To accept all calls, regardless of whether they match a connection profile:

■Toggle Must Match a Defined Profile to No.

■To only accept calls that match a connection profile through use of a name and password (or secret):

■Toggle Must Match a Defined Profile to Yes, and

■Set Authentication to PAP or CHAP.

Note: The authentication method you choose determines which connection profiles are accessible to callers. For example, if you choose PAP, callers using CHAP or no authentication will be dropped by the answer profile.

■To allow calls that only match a connection profile’s remote IP and/or IPX address:

■Toggle Must Match a Defined Profile to Yes, and

■set Authentication to None.

System configuration screens

You can connect to the Netopia R9100’s system configuration screens in either of two ways:

■By using Telnet with the Router’s Ethernet port IP address

■Through the console port, using a local terminal (see “Connecting a console cable to your router” on page 6-3)

You can also retrieve the Netopia R9100’s configuration information and remotely set its parameters using the Simple Network Management Protocol (see “SNMP” on page 12-12).

Open a Telnet connection to the router’s IP address; for example, “192.168.1.1.”
