(POTS models only)
Making the Physical Connections 2-5
Netopia R3100 models that support SmartPhone™ provide two RJ-11
telephone jacks for connecting analog devices, such as a telephone, facsimile
machine, or modem. * (UK users, see Note below)
The POTS ports are configured by default to support call hold, call retrieve and
the Flexible Call Offering (FCO) features known as Conference, Drop, and
Transfer.
■While a call is active, you can initiate a single flash hook (or if your phone is
so equipped, press the Flash button) to start a second call. This will place
the first call on hold, and provide a dial tone. Two individual active calls per
channel are allowed.
■Once the second call is established, you can switch back and forth
between the two calls by sending a single flash hook.
■If you want to conference two calls that are active (one on hold, and one
live) send a double flash hook to activate the conference, followed by a
single flash hook to bridge the calls together. This process can be repeated
to bridge additional users to the conference, up to the maximum allowed by
the line's provisioning.
■If a conference is active, you can drop the last call added to the conference
by issuing a double flash hook.
■If you want to transfer an active conference (allow the two calls to continue
to talk after the Netopia R3100 has disconnected), send a single flash
hook to receive a new dial tone, followed by a double flash hook to initiate
the transfer.
For detailed configuration information, see “Using SmartPhone for Telephone
Services” on page 9-1.

Setting up your Router with the SmartStart Wizard 3-1
Once you’ve connected your router to your computer and your telecommunications line and installed a web
browser, you’re ready to run the Netopia SmartStart™ Wizard. The SmartStart Wizard will help you set up the
router and share the connection. The SmartStart Wizard walks you through a series of questions and based on
your responses automatically configures the router for connecting your LAN to the Internet or to your remote
corporate network.
The SmartStart Wizard will:
■automatically check your Windows 95, 98, or NT PC’s TCP/IP configuration to be sure you can accept a
dynamically assigned IP address, and change it for you if it is not set for dynamic addressing
■check the physical connection from your computer to your router without your having to enter an IP address
■assign an IP address to your router
■allow you to register with a new ISP if you don’t already have one (for analog modem and ISDN models).
For a list of ISPs that support Netopia Routers in North America, see the Netopia website at
http://www.netopia.com.
■(for analog modem or ISDN models) allow you to enter your dial-up telephone numbers and other
information, dial up and test your connection to your chosen ISP or other remote site

Notes:
• The computer running SmartStart must be on the same Ethernet cable segment as the Netopia R3100.
Repeaters, such as 10Base-T hubs between your computer and the Netopia R3100, are acceptable, but
devices such as switches or other routers are not.
• SmartStart for the PC will set your TCP/IP control panel to “Obtain an IP address automatically” if it is
not already set this way. This will cause your computer to reboot. If you have a specified IP address
configured in the computer, you should make a note of it before running SmartStart, in case you do not
want to use the dynamic addressing features built in to the Netopia Router and need to restore the fixed IP
address.

The SmartStart Wizard is tailored for your platform, but it works the same way on either a PC or a Macintosh.
Insert the Netopia CD, and in the desktop navigation screen that appears, launch the SmartStartWizard
application.
SmartStart Wizard configuration screens
The screens described in this section are the default screens shipped on the Netopia CD. They
derive from two initialization (.ini) files included in the same directory as the SmartStart
application file. Your reseller or your ISP may have supplied you with customized versions of these
files.
■If you have received a CD or diskette that has been customized by your reseller or ISP, you
can run the SmartStart Wizard directly from the CD or diskette and follow the instructions
your reseller or ISP provides. This makes your Netopia R3100 configuration even easier.
■If you have received only the .ini files from your reseller or ISP, perform the following:
■Copy the entire directory folder containing the SmartStart Wizard application from the
Netopia CD to your hard disk.
■Copy the customized .ini files to the same directory folder that contains the SmartStart
Wizard application, allowing the copy process to overwrite the original .ini files.
■Run the SmartStart Wizard from your hard disk. You can then follow the instructions your
reseller or ISP provides.
The SmartStart Wizard presents a series of screens to guide you through the preliminary configuration of a
Netopia R3100. It will then create a connection profile using the information you supply to it.

connection, a progress indicator screen is displayed and
the router’s Ethernet LEDs flash.
When the test succeeds, SmartStart indicates success.
If the test fails, the wizard displays an error screen. If the test fails, check the following:
■Check your cable connections. Be sure you have connected the router and the computer properly, using the
correct cables. Refer to the Step 1 “Connect the Router” sheet in your Netopia R3100 documentation folio.
■Make sure the router is turned on and that there is an Ethernet connection between your computer and the
router.
■Check the TCP/IP control panel settings to be sure that automatic IP Addressing (Windows) or DHCP
(Macintosh) is selected. If you are using a Windows PC, SmartStart will automatically detect a static IP
address and offer to configure the computer for automatic addressing. On a Macintosh computer, you must
manually set the TCP/IP Control Panel to DHCP. See “Configuring TCP/IP on Macintosh computers” on
page 3-14. If you currently use a static IP address outside the 192.168.1.x network, and want to continue
using it, use the Advanced option to assign the router an IP address in your target IP range. See “Advanced
option” on page 3-9.
■If all of the above steps fail to resolve the problem, reset the router to its factory default settings and rerun

Overview
You can connect the Netopia R3100 to an IP or IPX network that uses Ethernet.
If you have purchased the AppleTalk feature expansion kit (order Netopia P/N TER/ATI), you can also connect
the Router to a LocalTalk network that uses PhoneNET cabling. On Netopia R3100 ISDN Routers, the AppleTalk
kit LocalTalk features require minimum firmware version 4.3.
See the sections later in this chapter for details on how to connect the Netopia R3100 to different types of
networks.
4-2 User’s Reference Guide
Readying computers on your local network
PC and Macintosh computers must have certain components installed before they can communicate through
the Netopia R3100. The following illustration shows the minimal requirements for a typical PC or Macintosh
computer.
Application software
TCP/IP stack
Ethernet/EtherTalk/LocalTalk Driver
Your PC
or Macintosh
computer

Application software: This is the software you use to send e-mail, browse the World Wide Web, read
newsgroups, etc. These applications may require some configuration. Examples include the Eudora e-mail
client, and the web browsers Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
TCP/IP stack: This is the software that lets your PC or Macintosh communicate using Internet protocols.
TCP/IP stacks must be configured with some of the same information you used to configure the Netopia
R3100. There are a number of TCP/IP stacks available for PC computers. Windows 95 includes a built-in
TCP/IP stack. See “Configuring TCP/IP on Windows 95, 98, or NT computers” on page 3-10. Macintosh
computers use either MacTCP or Open Transport. See “Configuring TCP/IP on Macintosh computers” on
page 3-14.
Ethernet: Ethernet hardware and software drivers enable your PC or Macintosh computer to communicate on
the LAN.
EtherTalk and LocalTalk: These are AppleTalk protocols used over Ethernet. LocalTalk support is available as
an optional feature set upgrade.
Once the Netopia R3100 is properly configured and connected to your LAN, PC and Macintosh computers that
have their required components in place will be able to connect to the Internet or other remote IP networks.

SmartView overview
SmartView is a Java-based applet that runs in a Web browser window. It intermittently polls the router for
information to monitor the router’s state and event histories. SmartView should run under any Java Virtual
Machine (JVM)–enabled browser, and is therefore platform independent.
Note: The SmartView applet will only run under Java-enabled browsers. Be sure that the browser you are using
is at least Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 3.0 or higher, or Netscape Navigator Version 3.0 or Communicator
Version 4.0 or higher. If your browser does not meet this requirement, you can upgrade with a browser supplied
on the Netopia CD.
The information you can view about your router using SmartView is shown in the table below:

currently active Connection Profile.
■Click the tab for the Connection Profile you want to activate.
■Click the Connect Button for this Connection Profile.
Event history pages
The Netopia R3100 records certain relevant occurrences in event histories. Event histories are useful for
diagnosing problems because they list what happened before, during, and after a problem occurs. You can view
two different event histories: one for the router’s system and one for the WAN. The Netopia R3100’s built-in
battery backup prevents loss of event history from a shutdown or reset.
5-4 User’s Reference Guide
The router’s event histories are structured to display the most recent events first, and to make it easy to
distinguish error messages from informational messages. Error messages are prefixed with an asterisk. Both
the WAN Event History and Device Event History pages retain records of up to 128 of the most recent events.
Which events are logged is controlled by the logging function in System Configuration. See “Logging” on

Note: Alternatively, you can have a direct serial console cable connection using the provided console cable
for your platform (PC or Macintosh) and the “Console” port on the back of the router. For more information
on attaching the console cable, see “Connecting a local terminal console cable to your router,” below.
■Telnet software installed on the computer you will use to configure the router
Configuring Telnet software
If you are configuring your router using a Telnet session, your computer must be running a Telnet software
program.
■If you connect a PC with Microsoft Windows, you can use a Windows Telnet application or simply run Telnet
from the Start menu.
■If you connect a Macintosh computer, you can use the NCSA Telnet program supplied on the Netopia
R3100 CD. You install NCSA Telnet by simply dragging the application from the CD to your hard disk.
Connecting a local terminal console cable to your router
You can perform all of the System Configuration activities for your Netopia R3100 through a local serial console
connection using terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal provided with Windows 95 or 98 on the
PC, or ZTerm, included on the Netopia CD, for the Macintosh.
The Netopia R3100 back panel has a connector labeled “Console” for attaching the Router to either a PC or
Macintosh computer via the serial port on the computer. (On a Macintosh, the serial port is called the Modem
port or the Printer port.) This connection lets you use the computer to configure and monitor the Netopia R3100
via the console screens.

ISDN Easy Setup
Note: The ISDN Wizard is designed to automatically detect and configure most of your ISDN parameters for you,
without your having to enter anything except a PBX dialing prefix, if you need one. The steps described in this
section allow you to either accept the detected values or override them in a manual mode if you want to. As
soon as the router is physically connected to the ISDN line and powered on, it tries to detect the switch type,
directory numbers, and SPIDs. If it is successful, the screen above will be displayed with all the fields already
filled in, except the PBX Prefix field.
The Easy Setup Profile screen is where you configure the parameters that control the Netopia R3100’s
connection to a specific remote destination, usually an ISP or a corporate site.
On a Netopia R3100 ISDN Router you can add up to 15 more connection profiles, for a total of 16.
1.Select Circuit Type and press Return. From the pop-up menu, select:
ISDN, Switched if you have a switched ISDN line. This option covers the broadest range of U and ST
applications, and enables the ISDN Wizard automatic switch type and SPID detection for U interfaces and
defaults to Euro-ISDN for ST models, or
ISDN, Leased if you have a dedicated or leased (“nailed-up”) ISDN line that uses a single B channel (64K),
2B (128K), or the entire ISDN bandwidth of 2B+D (144K), or
IDSL, Ascend if your leased line service provider uses Ascend equipment (only available on U interfaces),
or
7-4 User’s Reference Guide
IDSL, CMN if your leased line service provider uses Copper Mountain equipment (this is the default for
model R3100-I)
Note: The Switch Type, SPIDs, and Directory Numbers apply only to Switched ISDN service. If you select
either IDSL option, these fields are not displayed.
If you select ISDN, Leased as your circuit type, select Data Rate (kbps). From the pop-up menu, select the
appropriate B-channel, such as B1, B2, B1+B2, or 2B+D. Then skip to step 8.
It is possible to configure the router for any available circuit type: ISDN, Switched, ISDN, Leased,
IDSL, Ascend, or IDSL, CMN, depending on the switch gear you are connected to.
If you create a connection profile using a particular datalink encapsulation method, that profile will take
precedence whenever you connect to a line that uses that datalink encapsulation. If there is no connection
profile with the datalink encapsulation method that the line uses, the router will default to using the default
profile. See “The Default Profile” on page 8-6 for more information.
2.Select Switch Type and press Return. From the pop-up menu, select the switch protocol your ISDN service
provider uses.
North American options are:
■Auto-Detect (the default): using this feature, the router will attempt to detect what type of switch you
are connecting to, what your directory numbers and SPIDs are, and configure itself accordingly.
If you select Auto-Detect from the popup menu, you may see the following screen if the router has not

Enter the directory number for the remote network connection.
Enter basic information about your WAN connection with this screen.
1.Select Number to Dial and enter the ISDN telephone number you received from your ISP. This is the
number the Netopia R3100 dials to reach your ISP. Enter the number as you would dial it, including any
required prefixes (such as area, access, and long-distance dialing codes).
If you selected ISDN, Leased, or either of the IDSL options, as your router’s Circuit Type in the ISDN Easy
Setup screen or if you have an IDSL router, Number to Dial will not be an available option. Other
differences include Frame Relay Management Type. For information on Frame Relay Management Type see
“Configuring Frame Relay” on page 7-11. Frame Relay is an alternative datalink encapsulation method for
use over unswitched connections. If this does not apply to your connection, you can skip the corresponding
sections.
2.To enable address translation, toggle Address Translation Enabled to Yes. For more information on
Network Address Translation, see Chapter 11, “IP Setup and Network Address Translation.”
Then select the Local WAN IP Address field. The default address is 0.0.0.0, which allows for dynamic
addressing, your ISP assigning an address each time you connect. However, you may enter another
address if you want to use static addressing.
Note: When using HDLC datalink encapsulation and Network Address Translation, you must use a static
address.
3.If your ISP uses Numbered (Interface-based Routing), select Local WAN IP Address and enter the local
WAN address your ISP gave you.
7-8 User’s Reference Guide
When using numbered interfaces, the Netopia Router will use its local WAN IP address and subnet mask to
send packets to the remote router. Both routers have WAN IP addresses and subnet masks associated
with the connection.
If your ISP uses Unnumbered (System-based Routing) or your datalink encapsulation is not Frame Relay,
select Remote IP Address and enter the IP address your ISP gave you. Then select Remote IP Mask and
enter the IP subnet mask of the remote site you will connect to.
When using unnumbered interfaces, the Netopia Router will use either its local Ethernet IP address or its
NAT address (if so configured) and subnet mask to send packets to the remote router. Neither router has a
WAN IP address or subnet mask associated with this connection.
Note: If your ISP has not given you their IP or subnet mask addresses, then you may enter an IP address
such as 127.0.0.2, and an IP subnet mask such as 255.0.0.0. which are acceptable as defaults values,
and will typically be assigned at the time of connection.
4.For circuits with PPP enabled: Select the PPP Authentication pop-up menu and choose the type of
connection security your ISP told you to use (either None, PAP, CHAP, PAP-TOKEN, or CACHE-TOKEN). If
you choose PAP, CHAP, PAP-TOKEN, or CACHE-TOKEN, go to the next step. If your ISP does not use any of
these authentication methods, choose None and skip to the last step. When you create a connection
profile from Easy Setup, the default setting is PAP.
5.For circuits with PPP enabled: If your ISP uses PAP, select Send User Name and enter the user name your
ISP gave you to connect. Then select Send Password and enter the password.
If your ISP uses CHAP , select Send Host Name and enter the user name your ISP gave you to connect. Then
select Send Secret and enter the secret (CHAP term for password) your ISP gave you.

If Network Address Translation is enabled in the Easy Setup connection profile, the Ethernet IP Address
defaults to an address within a range reserved by the Internet address administration authority for use
within private networks, 192.168.1.1.
Because this is a private network address, it should never be directly connected to the Internet. Using NAT
for all your connection profiles will ensure this restriction. See “IP Setup and Network Address Translation”
on page 11-1 of this guide for more information.
2.Select Ethernet Subnet Mask and enter the subnet mask your ISP has given you. The Ethernet Subnet Mask defaults to a standard class C mask, 255.255.255.0.
3.Select Domain Name and enter the domain name your ISP has given you.
4.Select Primary Domain Name Server and enter the IP address your ISP has given you.
7-10 User’s Reference Guide
5.The Default IP Gateway defaults to the remote IP address you entered in the Easy Setup connection
profile. If the Netopia Router does not recognize the destination of any IP traffic, it forwards that traffic to
this gateway – set to 127.0.0.2 if your ISP does not otherwise specify.
Do not confuse the remote IP address and the default gateway’s IP address with the block of local IP
addresses you receive from your ISP. You use the local IP addresses for the Netopia R3100’s Ethernet port
and for IP clients on your local network. The remote IP address and the default gateway’s IP address
should point to your ISP’s router.
6.To use DHCP and (if installed) MacIP address serving, toggle IP Address Serving to On.
Note: For information about dynamic IP address serving, see “IP Setup and Network Address Translation”
on page 11-1.
7.If IP Address Serving is On, select Number of Client IP Addresses. Then enter the number of available
host addresses for the Netopia R3100 ISDN Router to allocate to the client computers on your network.
This number defaults to the balance of the subnet addresses above the Netopia Router’s address.
8.If IP Address Serving is On, select 1st Client Address and enter the first IP address in the set of allocated
served IP addresses.
Note: On a Netopia R3100 the factory default IP Address serving settings are:
1st Client Address: 192.168.1.3
Number of Client IP Addresses: unlimited models:100; limited models: number of users minus 1
(this allows for one static address at 192.168.1.2 for the server)

Note: The default configuration for the model R3100-I is No LMI as an LMI Type and DLCI 16 is statically
configured. This is appropriate for current versions of the Copper Mountain DSLAM firmware. Future versions of
the Copper Mountain firmware may support multiple statically configured DLCIs or DLCIs other than 16, or an
LMI setting other than No LMI. In that case there may be no need to statically configure DLCIs at all since the
router may be able to detect what DLCIs are configured between it and the DSLAM. Consult your service
provider, CE200 documentation, or technical notes from Copper Mountain for DSLAM configuration.
The following configuration information is provided for options available in future versions of the Copper
Mountain firmware.
1.Select LMI Type (Link Management Type) and press Return. From the pop-up menu, highlight either ANSI (Annex D), CCITT (Annex A), LMI, or No LMI. The default is No LMI. Press Return.
See “Frame Relay DLCI configuration” on page 7-16 for instructions.
Specifying the Link Management Type is the first step in configuring Frame Relay.
■If you select an LMI Type (Link Management Type) other than None, the T391 option specifies the
number of seconds between the Status Enquiry messages. The default setting is 10.
■The N391 option specifies the frequency of full status polls, in increments of the basic (T391) polling
cycle. The default setting is 6.
■The N392 option specifies the maximum number of (link reliability, protocol, and sequence number)
error events that can occur within the N393 sliding window. If an N392 threshold is exceeded, the
switch declares the Netopia Router inactive. The default setting is 3.
■The N393 option allows the user to specify the width of the sliding N392 monitored event window . The
default setting is 4.
2.Select Tx Injection Management and press Return. From the pop-up menu, highlight Standard if you want
the frames on your line that exceed the configured service parameters to be dropped at the router,
Buffered if you want the frames on your line that exceed the link capacity to be delayed until the link is less
busy, or None if you want all of the frames on your line to be transmitted. Press Return.
Note: If you select None as the Tx Injection Management type, the three Tx Injection Management options
listed below will remain hidden. Go to step 4.
If you select Standard or Buffered as the Tx Injection Management type, then the Default CIR, Bc, and Be
values will appear (in the corresponding fields below the Tx Injection Management field) in order for you to
define the parameters the management algorithm.
■The Default CIR (CIR also referred to as Committed
Information Rate) represents the average capacity available to a given PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit)
or DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier). This setting defaults to 64000, but you may modify the
capacity rate if this setting will not be applicable to you.
■The Default Bc (Bc also referred to as Committed Burst Size) represents the maximum amount of data
that your Frame Relay service provider agrees to transfer from a given PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit)
or DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier). This setting defaults to 64000, but you may change the
capacity rate if this setting needs to be modified.
■The Default Be (Be also referred to as Excess Burst Size) represents the maximum amount of data
that your Frame Relay service provider will attempt to deliver to a given PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit)
or DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier). This setting defaults to 0, but you may change the capacity
rate if this setting needs to be modified.
7-16 User’s Reference Guide
Note: Some Frame Relay service providers allow for over-subscription of the DLCIs, which occurs when the
total number of CIRs for all PVCs exceeds the line rate setup.
3.Select Congestion Management Enabled and toggle to Yes or No depending on whether you use this
selection. Press Return.
If Congestion Management is enabled, this option causes the Netopia Router to use in-bound FECNs
(Forward Explicit Congestion Notification). This feature is designed to notify you that congestion avoidance
procedures should be initiated where applicable for traffic in the same direction as the received frame. It
indicates that the frame in question, has encountered congested resources.
Note: The Congestion Management Enabled field will only appear if Standard or Buffered is selected as
the option from the Tx Injection Management field.
4.Select Maximum Tx Frame Size and press Return. The default is automatically set to a value suitable for
encapsulating a full ethernet packet’s transmission load, however you may change the Maximum Frame
Size to suit your networks transmission load. Press Return.

Here you configure the parameters for a single DLCI (Data Link Circuit ID).
1.Select DLCI Name and enter a name for this individual Frame Relay DLCI profile. It can be any name you
wish. For example: the name of your ISP or remote branch your connecting to such as the corporate
headquarters of your company.
Note: The Netopia Router allows Frame Relay DLCIs to be named, so that you can easily reference and
differentiate them. This is accomplished by giving a DLCI Name to a DLCI Number.
2.Select DLCI Enabled and toggle it to Yes to activate the profile. If you disable this profile, the Netopia
Router will automatically disable and block access to a specific remote DLCI.
3.Select DLCI Number (16-991) and enter a number for this individual DLCI. Check with your Frame Relay
provider to find out what numbers are allocated for each of your DLCI profiles. The DLCI number range
should fall within the range of 16-991.
4.Select Remote IP Address and enter the remote IP address your ISP or network administrator gave you
that represents the remote sites IP address for their router. Press Return.
If you select Standard or Buffered as the Tx Injection Management type in the Frame Relay Configuration screen
go to the next bulleted item below. If you selected None in the Frame Relay Configuration screen go to step 6.
Below the Remote IP Address field, the following Data Flow Parameters appear:
■The CIR (Committed Information Rate) represents the average capacity available to a given PVC (Per-
manent Virtual Circuit) or DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier). The setting defaults to 64000, but
you may modify the capacity rate by toggling the selection in the Use Default field to No. You can then
enter a different capacity rate in the Value field.
■The Bc (Committed Burst Size) represents the maximum amount of data that your Frame Relay service
provider agrees to transfer from a given PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or DLCI (Data Link Connection
7-20 User’s Reference Guide
Identifier). The setting defaults to 64000, but you may modify the committed burst size by toggling the
selection in the Use Default field to No. You can then enter a different committed burst size in the
Value field.
■The Be (Excess Burst Size) represents the maximum amount of data that your Frame Relay service
provider will attempt to deliver to a given PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or DLCI (Data Link Connection
Identifier). The setting defaults to 0, but you may modify the excess burst size by toggling the selection
in the Use Default field to No. You can then enter a different excess burst size in the Value field.
Note: Some Frame Relay service providers allow for over-subscription of the DLCIs, which occurs when the
total number of CIRs for all PVCs exceeds the line rate set up.
5.Select ADD DLCI NOW to save the current static Frame Relay DLCI profile that you have just entered, and
press Return to go back to the Frame Relay DLCI Configuration screen. Alternately, you can cancel the
Frame Relay DLCI profile you have just created by selecting CANCEL to exit the Add DLCI screen.

Creating a new Connection Profile
Connection Profiles define the telephone and networking protocols necessary for the router to make a remote
connection. A Connection Profile is like an address book entry describing how the router is to get to a remote
site, or how to recognize and authenticate a remote user dialing in to the router. For example, to create a new
Connection Profile, you navigate to the WAN Configuration screen from the Main Menu, and select Add
Connection Profile.

If you want to view the Connection Profiles in your router, return to the WAN Configuration screen, and
select Display/Change Connection Profile. The list of Connection Profiles is displayed in a scrolling pop-up
screen.
Up/Down Arrow Keys to select, ESC to dismiss, Return/Enter to Edit.
It is possible to configure the router for any available circuit type: ISDN, Switched, ISDN, Leased,
IDSL, Ascend, or IDSL, CMN, depending on the switch gear you are connected to. See the table of configuration
options on page 7-4.
If you create a Connection Profile using a particular datalink encapsulation method, that profile will take
precedence whenever you connect to a line that uses that datalink encapsulation. If there is no Connection
Profile with the datalink encapsulation method that the line uses, the router will default to using the Default
Profile. See “The Default Profile,” for more information.
The Default Profile
How the default profile works
The default profile works like a guard booth at the gate to your network: it scrutinizes WAN connections. Like the
guard booth, the default profile allows connections based on a set of criteria that you define.
The main criterion used to check connections is whether they match one of the connection profiles already
defined. A connection is matched to a connection profile using the remote network’s IP address (that is, the
caller is defined as the destination of a particular connection profile).
If a connection matches an existing profile, all of the connection profile parameters are adopted for the call.
When using PPP or Cisco-HDLC datalink encapsulation on a permanent circuit, you must configure a connection
profile. Note, that you may have already configured this connection profile in Easy Setup.
See “Easy Setup” on page 7-1 for information on configuring an Easy Setup connection profile.
WAN and System Configuration 8-7
When using Frame Relay datalink encapsulation on a permanent circuit, you may require that the frame relay
DLCIs explicitly match up to your connection profile, or you may allow your Frame Relay network to automatically
confirm this by using the Default Profile.
Customizing the Default Profile
The Default Profile screen controls whether or not an IDSL link will come up without an explicitly configured
connection profile. See “Creating a new Connection Profile” on page 8-1 for more information. You access the
Default Profile screen from the Main Menu by selecting WAN Configuration and then selecting Default Profile.

router will be to connect automatically once it is powered on.
■If Must Match a Defined Profile is set to No, then an IP Enabled item is visible. Toggling this item to Yes
(the default) or No controls whether or not IP will be supported on the IDSL link. If IP Enabled is set to Yes,
an IP Parameters item becomes visible. If you select IP Parameters the IP Parameters screen appears

Receive RIP: Both
Transmit RIP: v2 (multicast)
The Netopia R3100 ISDN Router always acts as a DHCP client on the IDSL link when using a Default Profile.
The DHCP server will supply a local IP address and subnet mask. For an IDSL link, Network Address Translation
(NAT) is enabled by default in the Default Profile and the Default Subnet Mask is set to 0.0.0.0. For details on
setting up IP Parameters see “IP Setup and Network Address Translation” on page 11-1.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is needed if there are IP routers on other segments of your Ethernet network
that the Netopia R3100 needs to recognize. Set to “Both” (the default) the Netopia R3100 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 R3100’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 R3100
will accept routing information provided by RIP packets from other routers that use different subnet masks.
If you want the Netopia R3100 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
R3100 will generate RIP packets only to other RIP v1 routers. With Transmit RIP v2 (broadcast) selected, the
Netopia R3100 will generate RIP packets to all other hosts on the network. With Transmit RIP v2 (multicast)
selected, the Netopia R3100 will generate RIP packets only to other routers capable of recognizing RIP v2
packets.
If you choose to transmit RIP, the TX RIP Policy pop up menu appears. You can select Poison Reverse (the
default), Split Horizon, or No Split Horizon.
■Poison Reverse speeds convergence but adds to network overhead. When topology changes, mentioning
routes that should not go through the router as well as those that should can speed up convergence.
■If you select Split Horizon (“without Poison Reverse” is implied), the router omits routes learned from an
interface from RIP updates sent on that interface. Split Horizon without Poison Reverse has the advantage
of minimizing network overhead in large network configurations at the expense of slower convergence.
■No Split Horizon is suitable for partially meshed frame relay networks. A partially meshed network is a WAN
in which one or more nodes do not have logically direct connections to all other nodes. In a star or partially
meshed Frame Relay topology, you may need to disable Split Horizon so the routers can learn about other
networks.
See “Configuring Frame Relay” on page 7-11 and Appendix G, “Understanding Frame Relay,” for more
information.

Auxiliary Port Configuration
If your router supports it, the Auxiliary port can be configured through the WAN Configuration screen. IDSL
routers do not support this feature. The ISDN Easy Setup screen does not include auxiliary serial port
configuration. To configure the auxiliary port for its possible options, from the Main Menu select WAN
Configuration and then WAN setup.

Aux Serial Port... Async Modem
Data Rate (kbps)... 57.6
Aux Modem Init String: AT&F&C1&D2E0S0=1
Return/Enter to select <among/between> ...
Enter information supplied to you by your ISDN phone company.
By default, the auxiliary port is enabled for an asynchronous modem. You can disable the port by selecting
Unused, or if you have installed the optional AppleTalk Kit, LocalTalk becomes the default. For more
information, see Chapter 13, “AppleTalk Setup.”
You can specify the Data Rate as 19.2, 38.4, 57.6, 115.2, or 230.4. 57.6 is the default.
You can modify the modem init string to conform to your modem’s requirements. Refer to your modem’s
documentation.
Note: When used in conjunction with ISDN, the auxiliary port is only useful for WAN services when the ISDN line
is configured for PPP authentication. Also, an ISDN call will not bond with an auxiliary port asynchronous
modem call.
System Configuration screens
You can connect to the Netopia R3100’s System Configuration screens:
■Using Telnet with the Router’s Ethernet port IP address
■Through the console port, using a local terminal (see “Connecting a local terminal console cable to your
router” on page 6-3)
You can also retrieve the Netopia R3100’s configuration information and remotely set its parameters using the
Simple Network Management Protocol (see “SNMP” on page 14-12).
Open a Telnet connection to the IP address you set in the router with SmartStart, for example “192.168.1.1.”

System Configuration features
SmartStart may be all you need to configure your Netopia R3100. Some users, however, require advanced
settings or prefer manual control over the default selections that SmartStart automatically chooses. For these
users, the Netopia R3100 provides System Configuration options.
To help you determine whether you need to use the System Configuration options, review the following
requirements. If you have one or more of these needs, use the System Configuration options described in the
later chapters.
■Two or more outgoing connection profiles to connect to more than one remote location (for example, to
connect to the Internet and to a network at another office).
■System Configuration of dynamic IP address distribution through DHCP, MacIP, or BootP.
■Customized incoming call profile to control received calls.
■Scheduled connections.
■Greater network security through the use of filters, CallerID, callback, and SecurID.
■System Configuration of AppleTalk LAN settings.
■System Configuration of connections to AppleTalk networks through the Internet or any IP network, using
AURP (AppleTalk “tunneling”).
■System Configuration of connection profiles. See the table below for a partial list of the options available
