Easy Setup

This chapter describes how to use the Easy Setup console screens on your Netopia R2020 Dual Analog Router. The Easy Setup console screens provide an alternate method for experienced users to set up their router’s Connection Profiles without using SmartStart. After completing the Easy Setup console screens, your router will be ready to connect to the Internet or another remote site.

Using three Easy Setup console screens, you can:

modify a Connection Profile for your Router for the connection to your ISP or remote location;

set up IP addresses and IP address serving;

password protect configuration access to your Netopia R2020 Dual Analog Router;

How to access the Easy Setup console screens

To access the console screens, Telnet to the Netopia Router over your Ethernet network, or you can physically connect with a serial console cable and access the Netopia Router with a terminal emulation program. See “Connecting through a Telnet session” on page 5-2or “Connecting a local terminal console cable to your router” on page 5-3.

Note: Before continuing, make sure that you have the information that your telephone service provider, ISP, or network administrator has given you to configure the Netopia Router.

The Netopia Router’s first console screen, Main Menu, appears in the terminal emulation window of the attached PC or Macintosh when:

the Netopia Router is turned on

the computer is connected to the Netopia Router
