Set up the basic IP attributes of your Netopia in this screen.
Follow these steps to configure IP Setup for your Netopia R3100:
■Select Ethernet IP Address and enter the IP address for the Netopia R3100’s Ethernet port.
■Select Ethernet Subnet Mask and enter the subnet mask for the Ethernet IP Address that you entered in the last step.
■Select Default IP Gateway and enter the IP address for a default gateway. This can be the address of any major router accessible to the Netopia R3100 such as 127.0.0.2.
A default gateway should be able to successfully route packets when the Netopia R3100 cannot recognize the intended recipient’s IP address. A typical example of a default gateway is the a corporate
■Select DNS Server and enter the IP address for a domain name server. The domain name server matches the alphabetic addresses favored by people (for example, www.netopia.com) to the IP addresses actually used by IP routers (for example, 163.7.8.202).
■If a secondary DNS server is available, select Secondary DNS Server and enter its IP address. The secondary DNS server is used by the Netopia R3100 when the primary DNS server is inaccessible. Entering a secondary DNS is useful but it is not necessary.
■Select Domain Name and enter your network’s domain name (for example, netopia.com). Entering a Domain Name is strongly recommended.
■Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is needed if there are IP routers on other segments of your Ethernet network that the Netopia R3100 needs to recognize. Set to “Both” (the default) the Netopia R3100 will accept information from either RIP v1 or v2 routers. Alternatively, select Receive RIP and select v1 or v2 from the popup menu. With Receive RIP set to “v1,” the Netopia R3100’s Ethernet port will accept routing information provided by RIP packets from other routers that use the same subnet mask. Set to “v2,” the
