Easy Setup 7-11

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 device 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 4752’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.

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 use a single IP address assigned by your ISP to connect to the Internet.

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.
