Set up the basic IP & IPX attributes of your Netopia in this screen.
1. Select Ethernet IP Address and enter the first IP address from the IP address range your ISP has given
you. This will be the Netopia Router’s IP address.
The Ethernet IP Address defaults to an address (192.168.1.1) within a range reserved by the Internet
address administration authority for use within private networks.
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 the Firmware User’s Guide chapter on
“Multiple Network Address Translation (MultiNAT)” 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. Press the Down arrow key until the editable field labeled Domain Name is highlighted.
4. Type the Domain Name your ISP gave you. Press Return. The next field Primary Domain Name Server will
be highlighted.
5. Type the Primary Domain Name Server address your ISP gave you. Press Return. A new field Secondary
Domain Name Server will appear. If your ISP gave you a secondary domain name server address, enter it
here. Press Return until the next field Default IP Gateway is highlighted.
6. 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 may receive from your ISP. You use the local IP addresses for the Netopia 4522’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.
Easy Setup 6-11
7. Toggle IP Address Serving to On or Off, depending on whether you want the device’s IP address server to
supply dynamic IP addresses to your client workstations. Normally, you would accept the default On so that
workstations on your LAN can have IP addresses assigned dynamically from the router.
8. The IP address server will provide 100 IP addresses automatically to workstations on your LAN. You only
need to change the Number of Client IP Addresses if you have some other IP addressing scheme.
9. By default, the 1st Client Address is 192.168.1.100, based on the device’s default IP address of
192.168.1.1. You only need to change this if you have some other IP addressing scheme.
10. Press the Down arrow key until you reach NEXT SCREEN. Press Return.
Easy Setup Security Configuration
The Easy Setup Security Configuration screen lets you password-protect your Netopia 4522. 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.
Additional security features are available. See the Firmware User’s Guide chapter on “Security”.
