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
on page 9-1
of this guide for more information.

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.
The Easy Setup Security Configuration screen lets you password-protect your Netopia R5000 Series. Input your
Write Access Name and Write Access Password with names or numbers totaling up to eleven digits.
If you password protect the console screens, you will be prompted to enter the name and password you have
specified every time you log in to the console screens. Do not forget your name and password. If you do, you
will be unable to access any of the configuration screens.
It is strongly suggested that you password-protect configuration access to your
Netopia. By entering a Name and Password pair here, access via serial,
Telnet, SNMP and Web Server will be password-protected.
Be sure to remember what you have typed here, because you will be prompted for
it each time you configure this Netopia.
You can remove an existing Name and Password by clearing both fields below.
