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.

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

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 R5000 Series 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 R5000 Series. It will then create a connection proﬁle using the information you supply to it.

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 R5000 Series 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 5-10. 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 5-5.

■ If all of the above steps fail to resolve the problem, reset the router to its factory default settings and rerun

SmartStart. See “Factory defaults” on page 14-7 for instructions.

7-8 User’s Reference Guide

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 9-1 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 mask derived from the class of the Ethernet IP address you entered in the previous step.

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. An alternate or Secondary Domain Name Server ﬁeld will appear, where you can enter a secondary DNS IP address if your ISP has given you one.

5. If you do not enter a Default IP Gateway value, the router 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.

Do not confuse the remote IP address and the Default IP Gateway’s address with the block of local IP addresses you receive from your ISP. You use the local IP addresses for the Netopia R5000 Series’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.

WAN and System Conﬁguration 8-9

See “Frame Relay DLCI conﬁguration” on page 8-10 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 of 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 necessary.

■ 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 necessary.

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.

For an R5100 Serial router connected to an asynchronous modem, you can enable system-wide and per connection proﬁle connection accounting and budgeting. You use this feature to track ﬁrst minutes and additional minutes per time period for initiated data calls. Connection accounting is available either through the console-based management screens or through the web-based management screens. See “Web-based

monitoring” on page 12-20 for more information.

You access the console-based management screens from the WAN Conﬁguration menu by selecting Accounting Conﬁguration and pressing Return.

Choose the Connection Profile this budget is for.

Conﬁguration is similar to the web-based management conﬁguration screens.

■ Selecting Use Connection Proﬁle displays a pop-up list of all of your connection proﬁles. Choose the

connection proﬁle you want this budget to apply to and press Return.

■ Toggle Enforced to either On or Off to enforce whether the connection is torn down when the budget limit is

reached.

■ Toggle Override to either On or Off. With Override on you can exceed your budget during the current time

period without tearing down active connections. At the end of the current time period this option is automatically deactivated. If you want to be able to exceed your enforced budget again, you must toggle this option to On for each new time period.

Toggling Override to On disables call blocking, even if the call is over its limit. The override ﬂag is automatically reset to be Off at the start of a new period. This is so that you don’t need to set Enforced to Off to by-pass the limit, and then forget to turn it back on when the new period starts.

■ The Units (Minutes) ﬁeld is not editable.

■ In the Limit ﬁeld enter the number of minutes your budget allows.

■ From the Time Period pop-up select either Week or Month, depending on your budgeting requirements.

■ System conﬁguration of dynamic IP address distribution through DHCP, MacIP, or BootP

■ Greater network security through the use of ﬁlters

■ System conﬁguration of AppleTalk LAN settings

■ System conﬁguration of connections to AppleTalk networks through the Internet or any IP network, using

AURP (AppleTalk “tunneling”)
