On a Netopia R2121 Dual Analog Router you can add up to 15 more connection profiles, for a total of 16. See “Creating a new Connection Profile” on page 8-2.

1.Select Number to Dial and enter the telephone number you received from your ISP. This is the number the Netopia R2121 dials to reach your ISP. Enter the number as you would dial it, including any required prefixes (such as area, access, and long-distance dialing codes).

Note: When placing a multi-channel call, the answering equipment must either:

be in a “hunt group,” where a single telephone number services multiple lines, or

the answering side must implement MP or BAP as a method to advise the calling side what number(s) to use.

ISPs or corporate IS groups will meet these conditions. For other non-standard dialup connections, you should verify that one or the other of these conditions is true.

2.To enable address translation, toggle Address Translation Enabled to Yes. For more information on Network Address Translation, see “IP Setup, SmartIP and Network Address Translation” on page 10-1.
