Easy Setup

This chapter describes how to use the Easy Setup console screens on your Netopia R5000 Series Router. After completing the Easy Setup console screens, your router will be ready to connect to the Internet or another remote site.

Easy Setup console screens

Using four 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 R5000 Series Router

Accessing the Easy Setup console screens

To access the console screens, Telnet to the Netopia Router over your Ethernet network or 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 6-2or “Connecting a console cable to your router” on page 6-3.

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

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

■The Netopia Router is turned on

■The computer is connected to the Netopia Router

■Telnet or the terminal emulation software is running and configured correctly

Screen differences

Netopia R5000 Series Router models offering different feature sets will have variations in the fields on certain screens. Your own Easy Setup screens may look slightly different from those illustrated in this chapter.
