Easy Setup Profile

The Easy Setup Profile screen is where you configure the parameters that control the Netopia R7200’s connection to a specific remote destination, usually your ISP or a corporate site.

On a Netopia R7200 SDSL Router you can add up to 15 more connection profiles, for a total of 16, although you can only use one at a time.

Return accepts * ESC cancels * Left/Right moves insertion point * Del deletes. Enter basic information about your WAN connection with this screen.

1.To enable address translation, toggle Address Translation Enabled to Yes (the default). For more information on Network Address Translation, see Chapter 10, “IP Setup and Network Address Translation,” on page 10-1.

If you selected RFC1483 data link encapsulation in the SDSL Line Configuration screen, an IP Addressing menu item appears allowing you to choose between Unnumbered and Numbered addressing. Numbered is the default for SDSL. It assigns a unique IP address to the SDSL WAN interface, as required by most ISPs’ routers. Unnumbered may be used for simpler configurations such as point-to-point short haul applications.

2.Select the editable field labeled Local WAN IP Address.

The default address is 0.0.0.0, which allows for dynamic addressing, when your ISP assigns an address each time you connect. However, you can enter another specific address if you want to use static addressing. In that case, enter the local WAN address your ISP gave you. Press Return.

3.If you selected PPP data link encapsulation in the SDSL Line Configuration screen, a PPP Authentication menu item appears. The authentication protocol and user name/password combinations you enter must be assigned or agreed to in advance between you and your ISP. Select PPP Authentication and press Return.

From the pop-up menu that appears, select the authentication method your ISP uses: PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), PAP-TOKEN, CACHE-TOKEN, or None.

■ PAP is the most common, and requires you to enter a User Name and Password in the next two fields.
