Enter an IP address in decimal and dot form (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
Set up the basic IP & IPX attributes of your Netopia in this screen.
1.Select Ethernet IP Address and enter the first IP address from the IP address range your ISP has given you. This will be the Netopia Router’s IP address.
The Ethernet IP Address defaults to an address (192.168.1.1) within a range reserved by the Internet address administration authority for use within private networks.
Because this is a private network address, it should never be directly connected to the Internet. Using NAT for all your connection profiles will ensure this restriction. See “Multiple Network Address Translation” on page
2.Select Ethernet Subnet Mask and enter the subnet mask your ISP has given you. The Ethernet Subnet Mask defaults to a standard class mask derived from the class of the Ethernet IP address you entered in the previous step.
3.Press the Down arrow key until the editable field labeled Domain Name is highlighted.
4.Type the Domain Name your ISP gave you. Press Return. The next field Primary Domain Name Server will be highlighted.
5.Type the Primary Domain Name Server address your ISP gave you. Press Return. A new field Secondary Domain Name Server will appear. If your ISP gave you a secondary domain name server address, enter it here. Press Return until the next field Default IP Gateway is highlighted.
6.If you do not enter a Default IP Gateway value, the router defaults to the remote IP address you entered in the Easy Setup connection profile. If the Netopia Router does not recognize the destination of any IP traffic, it forwards that traffic to this gateway.
Do not confuse the remote IP address and the Default IP Gateway’s address with the block of local IP addresses you receive from your ISP. You use the local IP addresses for the Netopia 4553’s Ethernet port and for IP clients on your local network. The remote IP address and the default gateway’s IP address should point to your ISP’s router.
