per-profile statistics Console-based Telnet client
UNIX syslog client
Status lights (LEDs) for easy monitoring and troubleshooting SmartStart™ Wizard software for easy configuration over an Ethernet network connection. The SmartStart
Wizard may include an optional automatic registration with one of several major ISPs, making the process as simple as completing a registration form. Using the alternate manual setting to configure the router for an ISP that’s not listed, the software allows you to configure your internal connection by entering just five fields: username, password, dialup number, DNS, and IP gateway.
Support for Console-based management
SmartIP™ for simple and economical to connect a workgroup of users to the Internet or a remote IP network by using Network Address Translation and a single IP address.
AppleTalk support (available as a separate add-on AppleTalk kit, including a firmware feature set
enhancement and custom HD-15 dual RJ-11 PhoneNET™ connector) allows for LocalTalk to Ethernet routing in future firmware releases, assigning IP addresses to Macintosh users (MacIP), IP functionality for LocalTalk users, and AURP tunneling for connectivity between remote AppleTalk networks.

Y ou can either connect your computer directly to any of the Ethernet ports on the router, or connect both your computer and the router to an existing Ethernet hub on your LAN. Alternatively, you can use the console connection to run console-based management using a direct serial connection.
S/T Termination switch
Netopia R3100 S/T models also provide an S/T termination switch. The S/T termination switch on the Netopia R3100 back panel must be enabled to terminate the S/T bus. To enable this parameter, the switch must be toggled to the left.
Port Description
2 Phone ports (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.

Before running SmartStart

Be sure you have connected the cables and power source as described in Step 1 “Connect the Router” guide contained in your Netopia folio.
Before you launch the SmartStart application, make sure your computer meets the following requirements:
PC Macintosh
System software
Connectivity software
Connectivity hardware
Browser software
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.
Windows 95, 98, or NT operating system MacOS 7.5 or later

Setting up your Router with the SmartStart Wizard

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 SmartStart Wizard 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.
Welcome screen. The first screen welcomes you to the SmartStart Wizard configuration utility.
Click the Next button after you have responded to the interactive prompts in each screen.
The Help button will display useful information to assist you in responding to the interactive prompts.

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
To the Netopia R3100
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:

Navigating SmartView

You access the SmartView monitor by launching your web browser and entering the URL:
http://router_IP_Address/smartview.html
where router_IP_address is the address of your router. The default address is 198.162.1.1. Once you have invoked the SmartView pages, bookmark SmartView in your browser for easy access.

General Machine information page

SmartView uses tabbed pages to categorize information and reduce the amount of information displayed at once. Click on the tabs to display the different informational categories.
In addition to the static machine information about your router, such as model and firmware version, SmartView displays a real-time visual representation of the Netopia R3100’s status lights (LEDs). This is particularly useful if the router is located out of visual range, such as in a wiring closet.
SmartView 5-3
Connection Profiles page
The Connection Profiles page displays the currently active Connection Profile, and any alternate profiles you may have created. You can switch from one Connection Profile to another by disconnecting from one, and connecting to another.
To hang up the current connection, and establish the one you select, click the Disconnect button for the
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
page 8-17.

About Console-based Management

Console-based management is a menu-driven interface for the capabilities built in to the Netopia R3100. Console-based management provides access to a wide variety of features that the router supports. You can customize these features for your individual setup. This section describes how to access the console-based management screens.
Console-based management screens contain seven entry points to the Netopia Router configuration and monitoring features. The entry points are displayed in the Main Menu shown below:
Netopia R3100-UP v4.3
Easy Setup... WAN Configuration... System Configuration... Utilities & Diagnostics... Statistics & Logs... Quick Menus... Quick View... You always start from this main screen.
6-2 User’s Reference Guide
Note about screen differences. Netopia R3100 models offering different feature sets will have variations in the fields on certain screens. For example, there are switched (dial-up ISDN) and leased (Synchronous/Asyn­chronous, T1, and IDSL) line models, as well as models that offer feature subsets such as AppleTalk, SmartIP (Network Address Translation and DHCP) and SmartPhone (Plain Old Telephone Service). Your own console screens may look different from those illustrated in this manual.
The Easy Setup menus display and permit changing the values contained in the default Connection Profile
you created when you ran the SmartStart Wizard for initial configuration. Experienced users can also use Easy Setup to initially configure the router directly through a console session without using SmartStart.
Easy Setup menus contain up to five descendant screens for viewing or altering these values. The number of screens depends on whether you have optional features installed.
The WAN Configuration menu displays and permits changing your Connection Profile(s), creating or
deleting additional Connection Profiles, and configuring or reconfiguring the manner in which you may be using the router to connect to more than one service provider or remote site.
The System Configuration menus display and permit changing:
Network Protocols Setup. See “IP Setup and Network Address Translation” on page 11-1.
Filter Sets (Firewalls). See “Security” on page 15-1.

Diagnostics” on page 16-1 for detailed information.
The Statistics & Logs menus display nine sets of tables and device logs that show information about your
router, your network and their history. See “Statistics & Logs” on page 14-4 for detailed information.
The Quick Menus screen is a shortcut entry point to many of the most commonly used configuration
menus that are accessed through the other menu entry points.
The Quick View menu displays at a glance current real-time operating information about your router. See
“Quick View status overview” on page 14-1 for detailed information.

Connecting through a Telnet session

Features of the Netopia R3100 may be configured through the console screens.
Console-based Management 6-3
Before you can access the console screens through Telnet, you must have:
a network connection locally to the router or IP access to the router through the WAN port. This could be
the same connection as the one you used with SmartStart and the "Easy" path. If you used the default configuration for SmartStart, your IP address will be 192.168.1.1.
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.

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

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

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.

Set up the basic IP & IPX attributes of your Netopia in this screen.
1. Select Ethernet IP Address and enter the first IP address from the IP address range your ISP has given you. This will be the Netopia Router’s IP address.
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) The values you set in this screen are displayed in the “Quick View status overview” shown on page 14-2.

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.

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.

The IP Parameters (Default Profile) screen allows you to configure various IP parameters for IDSL connections established without an explicitly configured connection profile:
IP Parameters (Default Profile)
Default Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0 Filter Set (Firewall)...
Remove Filter Set 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.

Default Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0
Filter Set (Firewall)... Remove Filter Set
Receive RIP: +------------------+ Transmit RIP: +------------------+ TX RIP Policy... | Poison Reverse | | Split Horizon | | No Split Horizon | +------------------+
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.

IPX parameters (default profile) screen
The IPX Parameters (Default Profile) screen allows you to configure various IPX parameters for IDSL connections established without an explicitly configured connection profile:
IPX Parameters (Default Profile)
NetBios Packet Forwarding: Off Path Delay: 10
Incoming Packet Filter Set... <<NONE>> Outgoing Packet Filter Set... <<NONE>> Incoming SAP Filter Set... <<NONE>> Outgoing SAP Filter Set... <<NONE>>
Periodic RIP Timer: 60 Periodic SAP Timer: 60
For details on setting up IPX Parameters see “IPX Setup” on page 12-1. For details on setting up Filter Sets see
“Security” on page 15-1.
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.

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.”

The console screen will open to the Main Menu, similar to the screen shown below:
Netopia R3100-UP v4.3
Easy Setup... WAN Configuration... System Configuration... Utilities & Diagnostics... Statistics & Logs... Quick Menus... Quick View... Return/Enter goes to Easy Setup -- minimal configuration.
You always start from this main screen.
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
