Note:

Some companies act as their own ISP. For example, some organizations have branch ofﬁces that can use the Netopia R5000 Series to access the Internet via the main ofﬁce. If you install the Netopia R5000 Series in this type of environment, refer to the following sections for speciﬁc information you must receive from the network administrator to conﬁgure the Netopia R5000 Series properly.

Internet access is available from Internet service providers (ISPs). Typically, there are several ISPs in each area. To locate ISPs in your area, consult your telephone book, local computer magazines, the business section of a local newspaper, or the following URL on the Internet: ‘http://www.thelist.com’. Also see Netopia’s home page at ‘http://www.netopia.com’ for a list of special programs and promotions for Netopia customers.

If your area has more than one ISP, the following considerations may help you decide which ISP is best suited for your requirements.

Use an ISP that provides Internet access through a digital line.

Check whether your ISP has the Netopia R5000 Series on its list of supported products that have been tested with a particular conﬁguration. If the ISP does not have the Netopia R5000 Series on such a list, describe the Netopia R5000 Series in as much detail as needed, so your ISP account can be optimized. As appropriate, refer your ISP to Netopia’s Web site, http://www.netopia.com, for more information.

Typically, each network computer that requires Internet access requires its own unique IP address. If some or all network computers require simultaneous Internet access, obtain a block of IP host addresses large enough for each computer to have its own address, plus one for the Netopia R5000 Series.

Consider expected growth in your network when deciding on the number of addresses to obtain. Alternatively, you can use the Network Address Translation feature such that you require just one address from your service provider.

Your ISP will need to provide you with the following information:

■

The default gateway IP address (same as remote IP address in most cases) Local WAN IP address and subnet mask

■

Primary and secondary domain name server (DNS) IP addresses

■

Domain name (usually the same as the ISP’s domain name unless you have registered for your own individual domain name)

Note:

The default gateway, WAN address and mask, DNS, and domain name are all obtainable via WAN DHCP,

if your ISP supports it.

If you are connecting to a remote site using Network Address Translation on your router, your provider will not deﬁne the IP address information on your local LAN. You can deﬁne this information based on an IP conﬁguration that may already be in place for the existing network. Alternatively, you can use the default IP address range used by the router, 192.168.1.x.

This chapter describes how to physically connect the Netopia R5000 Series to your local area network (LAN). Before you proceed, make sure the Netopia R5000 Series is properly conﬁgured. You can customize the router’s conﬁguration for your particular LAN requirements using console-based management (see

“Console-Based Management” on page 6-1).

This section covers the following topics:

■ “Overview” on page 4-1

■ “Readying computers on your local network” on page 4-1

■ “Connecting to an Ethernet network” on page 4-3

■ “Adding an external modem” on page 4-4

■ “Connecting to a LocalTalk network” on page 4-5

OOOOvvvveeeerrrrvvvviiiieeeeww

You can connect the Netopia R5000 Series to an IP or IPX network that uses Ethernet. If you have purchased the AppleTalk feature expansion kit, you can also connect the router to a LocalTalk

network that uses PhoneNET cabling.

Additionally, on the R5200 and R5300 models you can connect an external modem for remote management. See “Adding an external modem” on page 4-4.

Caution!

Before connecting the Netopia R5000 Series to any AppleTalk LANs that contain other AppleTalk routers, you should read “Routers and seeding” on page 11-3.

See the later sections in this chapter for details on how to connect the Netopia R5000 Series to different types of networks.

To the Netopia R5000 Series

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 computer communicate using Internet protocols. TCP/IP stacks must be conﬁgured with some of the same information you used to conﬁgure the Netopia R5000 Series. There are a number of TCP/IP stacks available for PC computers. Windows 95, 98, and NT include a built-in TCP/IP stack. See “Conﬁguring TCP/IP on Windows 95, 98, or NT computers” on page 5-6. Macintosh computers use either MacTCP or Open Transport. See “Conﬁguring TCP/IP on Macintosh

computers” on page 5-10.

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. Once the Netopia R5000 Series 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.
