The WAN Ethernet Configuration screen appears as follows:
WAN Ethernet Configuration
Address Translation Enabled: Yes Local WAN IP Address: 0.0.0.0

Filter Set... Remove Filter Set Enable PPP over Ethernet: Off WAN Ethernet Speed Setting... Auto-Negotiation Wan Ethernet MAC Address: 00:fc:de:fa:dd:02
DHCP Client Mode: Standards-Based
RIP Options...
Set up the basic IP attributes of your Ethernet Module in this screen.
Address Translation Enabled allows you to specify whether or not the router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the Ethernet WAN port. NAT is enabled by default.
Local WAN IP Address allows you to manually configure an IP address for use on the Ethernet WAN port. The value 0.0.0.0 indicates that the device will act as a DHCP client on the Ethernet WAN port and attempt to acquire an address from a DHCP ser ver. By default, the router acts as a DHCP client on the Ethernet WAN port.
The Local WAN IP Mask field becomes visible if you specify a Local WAN IP Address. This allows you to manually configure an IP subnet mask for use on the Ethernet WAN port. This item is visible only if you have configured a non-zero Ethernet IP Address; other wise, the router obtains a subnet mask via DHCP.
The NAT Map List and NAT Server List options are set to the defaults, Easy-PAT List and Easy-Servers. These provide standard NAT mappings. For more advanced NAT configurations, see “Multiple Network
Address Translation” on page 3-1.
NAT Options allows you to specify IP Passthrough, allowing a single PC on the LAN to have the router’s public address assigned to it. See “IP Passthrough” on page 3-27.
If you set Stateful Inspection Enabled to Yes , you can enable a security feature for computers on your LAN when NAT is disabled. See “Stateful Inspection” on page 2-23.
The Filter Set pop-up allows you to associate an IP filter set with the Ethernet WAN port. See “About Filters
and Filter Sets” on page 9-17.
Remove Filter Set allows you to remove a previously associated filter set.
Enable PPP over Ethernet is Off by default. If your ser vice provider uses PPPoE authentication toggle this
to On.
WAN and System Configuration 2-3
The WAN Ethernet Speed Setting is now configurable via a pop-up menu. Options are: Auto-Negotiation (the default), 100 Mbps Full Duplex, 100 Mbps Half Duplex, 10 Mbps Full Duplex, and 10 Mbps Half Duplex. This may be useful in mixed networks, where multiple routers have different ethernet speed capability. If you want to maintain a single speed setting for compatibility with multiple routers on your LAN, you can select a speed/duplex combination that all of your routers can match.
The Wan Ethernet MAC Address is the hardware address of the Netopia device. Some service providers require a specific MAC address as par t of their authentication process. In such a case, you can enter the MAC address that your service provider requires. If your ser vice provider doesn’t use this method, you don’t need to change this field.
The DHCP Client Mode setting depends on the type of access concentrator equipment your service provider uses. Most use Standards-Based. Alternatively, your provider may instruct you to select Copper Mountain Specific.
The RIP Options selection displays the WAN Ethernet RIP Parameters screen.
WAN Ethernet RIP Parameters +----------------+ +----------------+ Receive RIP: | Off | | v1 | Transmit RIP: | v2 | | Both | +----------------+
The Receive RIP pop-up menu controls the reception and transmission of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) packets on the Ethernet WAN port. The default is Both.
The Transmit RIP pop-up menu is hidden if NAT is enabled.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is needed if there are IP routers on other segments of your Ethernet network that the Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 needs to recognize. Set to “Both” (the default) the Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 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 Router’s Ethernet port will accept routing information provided by RIP packets from other routers that use the same subnet mask. Set to “v2,” the Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 will accept routing information provided by RIP packets from other routers that use different subnet masks.
2-4 Firmware User Guide
If you want the Netopia Router to advertise its routing table to other routers via RIP, select Transmit RIP and select v1, v2 (broadcast), or v2 (multicast) from the popup menu. With Transmit RIP v1 selected, the Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 will generate RIP packets only to other RIP v1 routers. With Transmit RIP v2 (broadcast) selected, the Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 will generate RIP packets to all other hosts on the network. With Transmit RIP v2 (multicast) selected, the Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 will generate RIP packets only to other routers capable of recognizing RIP v2 packets.
ADSL Line Configuration screen
The ADSL Line Configuration screen is shown below:
ADSL Line Configuration
Circuit Type... Multimode Trellis Coding Enabled: On
Signaling Mode... FDM Fast Retrain Enabled: On
Wiring Type... AutoSense Data Link Encapsulation... RFC1483
1. Select Circuit Type and from the pop-up menu choose the type of circuit to which you will be connecting: Multimode, T1.413, G.dmt, or G.lite.
2. Select Trellis Coding Enabled. Toggle it to On (the default) or Off.
3. Select Signaling Mode and choose Echo Cancellation or FDM (the default).
4. If you selected Multimode Circuit Type, the Fast Retrain Enabled field appears. Toggle it to On (the default) or Off.
5. The Wiring Type pop-up menu allows you to choose the type of copper pair wiring in use at your location. Usually, the default AutoSense will detect the type and adjust itself accordingly. If you want to set it yourself, and you know the type of wiring you have, choose either Tip/Ring (Inner Pair) or A/A1 (Outer Pair) from the pop-up menu.
6. Select Data Link Encapsulation and press Return. The pop-up menu will offer you the choice of PPP or RFC1483.
ATM Circuit Configuration
On ADSL WAN interfaces, the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) connection between the router and the central office equipment (DSLAM) is divided logically into one or more virtual circuits (VCs). A virtual circuit may be either a permanent vir tual circuit (PVC) or a switched vir tual circuit (SVC). Netopia Routers support PVCs.
WAN and System Configuration 2-5
VCs are identified by a Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI). A VPI is an 8-bit value between 0 and 255, inclusive, while a VCI is a 16-bit value between 0 and 65535, inclusive.
Circuits support attributes in addition to their VPI and VCI values. When configuring a circuit, you can specify an optional circuit name of up to 14 characters. The circuit name is used only to identify the circuit for management purposes as a convenience to aid in selecting circuits from lists. The default circuit name is “Circuit <n>”, where <n> is some number between one and eight corresponding to the circuit’s position in the list of up to eight circuits.
You can also individually enable or disable a circuit without deleting it. This is useful for temporarily removing a circuit without losing the configured attributes.
In order to function, each circuit must be bound to a Connection Profile or to the Default Profile. Among other attributes, the profile binding specifies the IP addressing information for use on the circuit. Each circuit must be bound to a distinct Connection Profile.
ATM VPI/VCI Autodetection. You can bind multiple circuits to the same Connection Profile. Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 allows you to have a standard configuration that uses, for example, four VCs (0/35, 0/38, 8/35, 8/38) pointing to the same profile.
The unit will now automatically select the active VC on networks with a VPI/VCI of any of these four values without any custom configuration of the unit. You must, however, manually create these VCs and associate them with the profile you desire.
You configure Virtual Circuits in the Add/Change Circuit screen.

VBR: This class is characterized by:
• a Peak Cell Rate (PCR), which is a temporary burst, not a sustained rate, and
• a Sustained Cell Rate (SCR),
• a Burst Tolerance (BT), specified in terms of Maximum Burst Size (MBS). The MBS is the maximum number of cells that can be transmitted at the peak cell rate and should be less than, or equal to the Peak Cell Rate, which should be less than, or equal to the line rate. VBR has two sub-classes: a. VBR non-real-time (VBR-nrt): Typical applications are non-real-time traffic, such as IP data traffic. This class yields a fair amount of Cell Delay Variation (CDV).
b. VBR real time (VBR-rt): Typical applications are real-time traffic, such as compressed voice over IP
and video conferencing. This class transmits cells with a more tightly bounded Cell Delay Variation. The applications follow CBR.

pop-up menu.
2-8 Firmware User Guide
Note: With multiple VCs you must explicitly statically bind the second (and all subsequent) VCs to a profile.
The first VC will automatically statically bind according to pre-defined dynamic binding rules when you add the second VC. It will revert back to dynamic binding if the number of VCs is reduced to one; for example, by deleting previously defined VCs.
When the link comes up the router binds the VC dynamically to the first suitable Connection Profile or to the Default Profile if there is no Connection Profile configured.
If you factory default the router, the VC binds to the Default Profile.
If you delete a Connection Profile that is statically bound to a VC, the VC binding is set back to the Default
Profile. If there is only one VC defined, the VC dynamically binds to the first suitable profile or to the Default Profile. If there are multiple VCs defined, it binds to the Default Profile.
If you add a second VC, it is initialized to the Default Profile, and the menu screens display the VC
Connection Profile-related items, allowing you to bind to a specific Connection Profile instead of the Default Profile. In addition, the router statically binds the first VC according to the rules used to select a profile for dynamic binding. At this point, each profile uses static binding when the link is brought up.
If there are no VCs when you add a VC -- for example, if you deleted all your previous VCs and star ted adding
them again -- dynamic binding will occur when the link comes up. If you delete a VC, leaving only one VC, that VC resumes dynamically binding again.

Creating a New Connection Profile
Connection profiles are useful for configuring the connection and authentication settings for negotiating a PPP connection. If you are using the PPP data link encapsulation method, you can store your authentication information in the connection profile so that your user name and password (or host name and secret) are transmitted when you attempt to connect.
Connection profiles define the networking protocols necessar y for the Router to make a remote connection. A connection profile is like an address book entr y describing how the Router is to get to a remote site, or how to recognize and authenticate a connection. To create a new connection profile, you navigate to the WAN Configuration screen from the Main Menu, and select Add Connection Profile.

The Receive RIP pop-up menu controls the reception and transmission of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) packets on the WAN port. The default is Both v1 and v2.
A Transmit RIP pop-up menu is hidden if NAT is enabled.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is needed if there are IP routers on other segments of your Ethernet network that the Netopia Router needs to recognize. Set to “Both” (the default) Netopia Firmware Version
8.4 will accept information from either RIP v1 or v2 routers. Alternatively, select Receive RIP and select v1, v2, or v2 MD5 Authentication from the popup menu. With Receive RIP set to “v1,” the Netopia Router’s Ethernet port will accept routing information provided by RIP packets from other routers that use the same subnet mask. Set to “v2,” the Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 will accept routing information provided by RIP packets from other routers that use different subnet masks.
For more information on v2 MD5 Authentication, see
RIP-2 MD5 Authentication” on page 6-10.

Configuration Changes Reset WAN Connection
The menu supports delaying some configuration changes until after the Netopia Router is restarted.
If your Netopia Router is preconfigured by your ser vice provider, or if you are not remotely configuring the router, you can leave this setting unchanged.
The purpose of this feature is to defer configuration changes only when remotely configuring or reconfiguring the Netopia Router to prevent premature Telnet disconnection. When this feature is enabled, no changes to the WAN setup, datalink encapsulation, Connection Profiles, or Default Gateway will take effect until after the Netopia Router is restarted. Until the Netopia Router is restarted the WAN link and the routing table remain unaffected.
A single setting in the Advanced Connection Options screen controls this feature, as shown below.
