6-4 Getting Started Guide
1. WAN Ethernet Configuration
1.
Enable PPP over Ethernet
is
Off
by default. If your ser vice provider uses PPPoE authentication toggle this
to
On
. If you toggle this item to On, the remaining items are hidden, and your PPP authentication
information is entered on the next screen. PPPoE is commonly used by DSL ser vice providers.
2.
Address Translation Enabled
allows you to specify whether or not the router per forms Network Address
Translation (NAT) on the Ethernet WAN por t. NAT is enabled by default.
3.
Local WAN IP Address
allows you to manually configure an IP address for use on the Ethernet WAN por t.
Accepting the WAN IP Address value 0.0.0.0 indicates that the Netopia 3381-ENT will act as a DHCP client
on the Ethernet WAN por t and attempt to acquire an address from a DHCP ser ver in your ISP’s network. By
default, the router acts as a DHCP client on the Ethernet WAN por t. This is the normal configuration for
most cable modem connections.
4.
The
Local WAN IP Mask
field becomes visible if you specify a Local WAN IP Address. This allows you to
manually configure an IP subnet mask for use on the Ethernet WAN por t. This item is visible only if you
have configured a non-zero Local WAN IP Address; other wise, the router obtains a subnet mask via DHCP.
5.
Press the Down arrow key until you reach
NEXT SCREEN
. Press Return to bring up the next screen.
Note:
If you have not enabled PPPoE in this screen, the “Easy Setup Profile” step is skipped and the screen
does not appear next. The next screen will be
“3. IP Easy Setup” on page 6-6
.
2. Easy Setup Profile
The Easy Setup Profile screen is where you configure the parameters that control the Netopia 3381-ENT’s
connection to a specific remote destination, usually your ISP or a corporate site.
On a Netopia 3381-ENT you can add up to 15 more connection profiles, for a total of 16, although you can only
use one at a time, unless you are using Vir tual Private Networks (VPNs).
