Select Default IP Gateway and enter the IP address for a
default gateway. This can be the address of any major router
accessible to the Netopia ISDN Router.
A default gateway should be able to successfully route packets
when the Netopia ISDN Router cannot recognize the intended
recipient's IP address. A typical example of a default gateway is
the ISP's router.
Select DNS Server and enter the IP address for a domain name
server. The domain name server matches the alphabetic
addresses favored by people (for example, robin.hood.com) to
the IP addresses actually used by IP routers (for example,
163.7.8.202).
If a secondary DNS server is available, select Secondary DNS
Server and enter its IP address. The secondary DNS server is
used by the Netopia ISDN Router when the primary DNS server
is inaccessible. Entering a secondary DNS is useful but it is not
necessary.
Select Domain Name and enter your network's domain name
(for example, farallon.com). Entering a Domain Name is
strongly recommended.
If there are IP routers on your Ethernet network that the Netopia
ISDN Router needs to recognize, select Receive RIP and toggle
it to On. With Receive RIP on, the Netopia ISDN Router's
Ethernet port will accept routing information provided by
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) packets. RIP is used on the
model numbers 440 and 640.
If you want the Netopia ISDN Router to transmit its address and
the addresses of routers and subnets it recognizes, select
Transmit RIP and toggle it to On. With Transmit RIP on, the
router will generate RIP packets containing those addresses.
Select Static Routes to manually configure IP routes. See the
