Quick Easy Setup connection path

This section may be all you need to do to conﬁgure your Netopia R910 Ethernet Router to connect to the Internet.

If your ISP supports DHCP

Your Netopia R910 Ethernet Router comes preconﬁgured with the ability to accept an IP address dynamically assigned by your ISP. To do this, it acts as a Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol client to your ISP's DHCP server. This means that each time you power the Router on when it is connected to the Internet connection line, it conﬁgures itself with IP address settings without any input on your part. If your ISP supports this method, skip these instructions and go to Chapter 4, “Connecting to Your Local Area Network.” You don’t need to do anything else. This is the true Plug-and-Play solution.

If your ISP doesn’t support DHCP

Some ISPs may not be running a DHCP server. In this case, they may simply assign your router a Static IP Address and will supply you with several values for you to enter into the Router. The ISP will provide the values shown below:

Local WAN IP Address

Local WAN IP Mask

Default IP Gateway

Domain Name

Primary Domain Name Server

Secondary Domain Name Server

(You can record these values; print this page and use the spaces above.)

If your ISP assigns your Router a Static IP address, do the following:

1.From the computer connected to your router, as described in the section “Identify the connectors and attach the cables” on page 3-14, open a Telnet session to 192.168.1.1 to bring up the Main Menu.

If you don't know how to do this, see “Connecting through a Telnet session” on page 6-32.

Alternatively, you can connect the console cable and open a direct serial console connection, using a terminal emulator program. See “Connecting through a Telnet session” on page 6-32.
