Applicable only to SmartIP 5. In the IP Profile Parameters screen, toggle Address Translation

models Enabled to Yes if you choose to use Network Address Translation.

Network Address Translation allows communication between the LAN connected to the Netopia Router and the Internet using a single IP address, instead of a routed account with separate IP addresses for each computer on the network. Network Address Translation also provides increased security by hiding the local IP addresses of the LAN connected to the Netopia Router from the outside world.

Note: See “Summary of the Netopia Router models and features” on page 1-5 of the Getting Started Guide.

If you did not enable Network Address Translation, select IP Addressing and, from the pop-up menu, choose the IP routing method that your ISP or network administrator specifies (either

Numbered or Unnumbered).

If your ISP uses Numbered (Interface-based) Routing, select Local WAN IP Address and enter the local WAN address your ISP gave you. Then select Local WAN IP Mask and enter the WAN subnet mask of the remote site you will connect to.
