Easy Setup Profile
The Easy Setup Profile screen is where you configure the parameters that control the Netopia R7100’s
connection to a specific remote destination, usually your ISP or a corporate site.
On a Netopia R7100 SDSL Router you can add up to 15 more connection profiles, for a total of 16, although
you can only use one at a time.
1. To enable address translation, toggle Address Translation Enabled to Yes (the default). For more
information on Network Address Translation, see Chapter 9, “IP Setup and Network Address Translation,”
on page 9-1 .
2. You can toggle IP Addressing to either Numbered or Unnumbered.
Numbered is the default for SDSL. It assigns a unique IP address to the SDSL WAN inter face, as required
by most ISPs’ routers. Unnumbered may be used for simpler configurations such as point-to-point shor t
haul applications.
3. Select the Local WAN IP Address field. The default address is 0.0.0.0, which allows for dynamic
addressing, when your ISP assigns an address each time you connect. However, you may enter another
specific address if you want to use static addressing. In that case, enter the local WAN address your ISP
gave you.
When using numbered inter faces, the Netopia Router will use its local WAN IP address and subnet mask to
send packets to the remote router. Both routers have WAN IP addresses and subnet masks associated
with the connection.
When using unnumbered inter faces, the Netopia Router will use either its local Ethernet IP address or its
NAT address (if so configured) and subnet mask to send packets to the remote router. Neither router has a
WAN IP address or subnet mask associated with this connection.
4. Select NEXT SCREEN and press Return. The IP Easy Setup screen appears.
