6-2 User’s Reference Guide

Note about screen differences. Netopia R3100 models offering different feature sets will have variations in the fields on certain screens. For example, there are switched (dial-up ISDN) and leased (Synchronous/Asyn- chronous, T1, and IDSL) line models, as well as models that offer feature subsets such as AppleTalk, SmartIP (Network Address Translation and DHCP) and SmartPhone (Plain Old Telephone Service). Your own console screens may look different from those illustrated in this manual.

The Easy Setup menus display and permit changing the values contained in the default Connection Profile you created when you ran the SmartStart Wizard for initial configuration. Experienced users can also use Easy Setup to initially configure the router directly through a console session without using SmartStart.

Easy Setup menus contain up to five descendant screens for viewing or altering these values. The number of screens depends on whether you have optional features installed.

The WAN Configuration menu displays and permits changing your Connection Profile(s), creating or deleting additional Connection Profiles, and configuring or reconfiguring the manner in which you may be using the router to connect to more than one service provider or remote site.
