Quick Easy Setup connection path

This section may be all you need to do to configure your Netopia R7100 with SDSL to connect to the Internet.

With DHCP and ATM FUNI (the defaults)

Your Netopia R7100 with SDSL comes preconfigured with the ability to accept an IP address dynamically
assigned by your ISP. To do this, it acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol client to your ISP's DHCP
server. This means that each time you power the Router on when it is connected to the SDSL line, it configures
itself with IP address settings without any input on your part.
Your service provider must also be running the Data Link Encapsulation method called ATM FUNI. This is the
most common method used on the Copper Mountain DSLAM.
If your ISP supports these requirements, skip these instructions. You don't need to do anything else.

Without DHCP

Some ISPs may not be running a DHCP server, or may be using the Frame Relay Data Link Encapsulation
method. In this case, they may simply assign your router a Static IP Address and will supply you with several
values for you to enter in the Router. The ISP will provide the values shown below:
Data Link Encapsulation _______________________________
Local WAN IP Address _________________________________
Local WAN IP Mask ____________________________________
Default IP Gateway ____________________________________
Domain Name _________________________________________
Primary Domain Name Server ___________________________
(If you want to record these values, you can print this page and use the spaces above.)
If your ISP assigns your Router a Static IP address, do the following:
1. Open a Telnet session to 192.168.1.1 to bring up the Main Menu.
If you don't know how to do this, see
Alternatively, you can connect the console cable and open a direct serial console connection, using a
terminal emulator program. See
