    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.
  • Page 18 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.

  • Page 36 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.
  • Page 37 When the test is successful, SmartStart presents you with the Additional Configuration screen. If you have a router that has a permanent unswitched connection to your ISP, such as a Netopia R5000 Series Router, the Additional Configuration screen appears. You may want to do additional configuration to customize your network environment.
  • Page 38 It is also found in your documentation folio. Note: Forcing a new IP address may turn off the Netopia R5000 Series’s IP address serving capabilities, if you assign an IP address and subnet mask outside the router’s current IP address serving pool.
  • Page 39 If you configure your Netopia R5000 Series using SmartStart, you can accept the dynamic IP address assigned by your router. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, which enables dynamic addressing, is enabled by default in the router. If your PC is not set for dynamic addressing, SmartStart will offer to do this for you if you select the Easy setup option.
  • Page 40 5-8 User’s Reference Guide If you are manually configuring for a fixed or static IP address, perform the following: Go to Start Menu/Settings/Control Panels and double click the Network icon. From the Network components list, select the Configuration tab. Select TCP/IP-->Your Network Card. Then select Properties. In the TCP/IP Properties screen (shown below), select the IP Address tab.
  • Page 41 Click on the Gateway tab (shown below). Under “New gateway,” enter 192.168.1.1. Click Add. This is the Netopia R5000 Series’s pre-assigned IP address. Click OK in this window and the next window. When prompted, reboot the computer. Note: You can also use these instructions to configure other computers on your network with manual or static IP addresses.
  • Page 42 R5000 Series to assign IP addresses to your Macintoshes, you must be running Open Transport, standard in MacOS 8 and optional in earlier system versions. You can have your Netopia R5000 Series dynamically assign IP addresses using MacTCP; however, to do so requires that the optional AppleTalk kit be installed which can only be done after the router is configured.
  • Page 43 If you are manually configuring for a fixed or static IP address, perform the following: Go to the Apple menu. Select Control Panels and then TCP/IP or MacTCP. With the TCP/IP window open, go to the Edit menu and select User Mode. Choose Advanced and click OK. Or, in the MacTCP window, select Ethernet and click the More button.
  • Page 44 If you want to use MacIP to dynamically assign IP addresses to the Macintosh computers on your network you must install the optional AppleTalk feature set kit. Note: You cannot use MacIP dynamic configuration to configure your Netopia R5000 Series Router because you must first configure the router in order to enable AppleTalk.

AppleTalk support is available as a separate kit for the Netopia R5000 Series Router. Skip this chapter if you do not have the AppleTalk kit.
  • Page 138: Appletalk Protocol

    AppleTalk tells them apart according to an additional part of their addresses: the network number. The Netopia R5000 Series assigns a unique network number to each member network. In terms of the city street metaphor, the network number is similar to the name of the street. Putting a network number together with a node number fully specifies the address of a node on an internet.
  • Page 139: Macip

    When two networks using AppleTalk communicate with each other through a network based on the Internet Protocol, they are said to be “tunneling” through the IP network. The Netopia R5000 Series Router uses AURP to allow your AppleTalk network to tunnel to designated AppleTalk partner networks, as well as to accept connections from remote AppleTalk networks tunneling to your AppleTalk LAN.

This section covers the following topics: “What is IP?”...
  • Page 240 B-2 User’s Reference Guide IP addresses indicate both the identity of the network and the identity of the individual host on the network. The number of bits used for the network number and the number of bits used for the host number can vary, as long as certain rules are followed.
  • Page 241 IP address. Subnet mask information is configured as part of the process of setting up IP routers and gateways such as the Netopia R5000 Series Router. Note: If you receive a routed account from an ISP, there must be a mask associated with your network IP address.

The ISP is providing a Class C address to the customer site, and both networks A and B want to gain Internet access through this address.

  • Page 243 ISP's equipment. The most important item in this configuration is the static route defined on Router B. This tells Router B what path to take to get to the network defined by Netopia R5000 Series Router B. Without this information, Customer Site B will be able to access Customer Site A, but not the Internet.
  • Page 244 These two methods are not mutually exclusive; you can manually issue some of the addresses while the rest are distributed by the Netopia R5000 Series Router. Using the router in this way allows it to function as an address server.

Whether you use one or both depends on your particular networking environment.
