You can also retrieve the Netopia ISDN Router’s conﬁguration information and remotely set its parameters using the Simple Network Management Protocol (see “SNMP” on page 9-14).

Connecting a modem to the PC Card port

The Netopia ISDN Router has a PC Card port (also known as a PCMCIA card port) for attaching a PC Card Type II modem. The port has two Type II slots and is located on the router’s left side behind a pull-down cover.

Introduction 1-5

You may want to attach a PC Card modem to the Netopia ISDN Router to remotely conﬁgure it or to upgrade its ﬁrmware (see “To update

Netopia’s ﬁrmware” on page 10-17.)

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when unpacking and preparing to use the PC Card modem. A telephone cable should be included with your modem. One end of the cable connects to your modem, while the

PC Card

(PCMCIA)

other end (RJ-11) connects to an analog telephone line wall socket (

not

an ISDN line)

1-6 Netopia ISDN Router Reference Guide

To attach the modem to the Netopia ISDN Router, pull down the door that covers its PC Card slots and insert the modem. You can use either slot.

If the default selection corresponds to the country in which the Netopia ISDN router is being installed, do not change it. Otherwise, choose the type of switch protocol your telephone company uses. The Generic - EuroISDN protocol may be appropriate for countries not appearing in the list.

Note: If the Netopia ISDN Router is being installed in Germany or North America (the United States and Canada), make sure that the correct protocol is selected. The Switch Type pop-up menu contains more than one choice for Germany. Choose Germany - EuroISDN unless your ISDN service provider advises you to use the Germany - 1TR6 protocol.

Connection proﬁles

A connection proﬁle is a set of parameters that tells the Netopia ISDN Router how to connect to a remote destination. Connection proﬁles are also used to make out-bound calls and optionally to help answer calls.

Small Ofﬁce Models The Netopia ISDN Router Small Ofﬁce models support up to 4

different connection proﬁles.

Corporate Models The Netopia ISDN Router Corporate models support up to 16

different connection proﬁles. Each connection proﬁle you set up allows the Netopia ISDN Router

to connect your network to another network that also has an ISDN line and uses IP or IPX over the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).

To go to the Connection Proﬁles screen, select Connection Proﬁles in the WAN Setup screen.

Do not use an address already in use by

another connection proﬁle.

Note: You may leave the address zero if you do not yet know the address of the other network. The address should either be provided by them or you can conﬁgure the Netopia ISDN Router to provide the address from the IP Address Serving pool (see

“WAN IP Address Serving,” beginning on page 2-33. The latter

option is appropriate when the other network is an ISDN modem or terminal adapter, or a Netopia ISDN Router using the NAT (Network Address Translation ) feature set. See Chapter 5 in the Getting Started guide for more information on NAT.

■ Select Remote IP Mask and enter the IP mask used by the

remote network. Y ou may leave this zero if you will be assigning a host IP address to the remote network using the method described in step 5)

Small Ofﬁce models ■ Select Address Translation Enabled. This option’s behavior will

be conﬁgured later in IP Setup in the Network Protocols Setup section of Advanced Conﬁguration. For more details, see Chapter 4. IP Setup IP Network Address Translation (NAT, also

■ Select the Send Authentication pop-up menu and choose the

type of connection security supported by the network being called. This should be PAP, CHAP, or None (if the remote network does not use PAP or CHAP). If you choose PAP or CHAP, two (2) “send” and two (2) “receive” items appear below the Send Authentication pop-up menu. On the Netopia ISDN Router the default authentication is set for PAP, as this is usually the most popular security parameter that ISP’s (Internet Service Providers) and other remote networks (set up for a point-to-point connection) use.

Note: If you choose None, and the remote network expects to connect to the Netopia ISDN Router using this connection proﬁle, you may need to set the answer proﬁle to accept calls using no authentication (None). See “Answering calls” on

page 2-26.
