Netopia R310 Router User Manual


 
3-6 User’s Reference Guide
Optionally, an alternate DNS if your ISP provided one
If you select Manual Entry, the “Connection Profile screen,” shown below appears.
Most ISPs will provide you with information for you to enter in the “Connection Profile screen” on page 3-6
(shown below) over the phone using the toll-free phone number shown in the scrolling list. Generally, they
will provide you with:
Your dial-up number, sometimes referred to as an ISP POP number
Your Login name and Password. (These are case-sensitive.)
Note: Your ISP may provide you with additional values such as “Remote IP Gateway” or “Subnet Mask.”
These entries are not required for the SmartStart Wizard to configure your router.
If you have a PBX or Centrex phone system, you may need a dialing prefix (such as “9” for an outside line).
You will enter that information in the “Connection Profile screen,” shown below.
Internet Service Provider Selection screen. Select an
ISP from the list of Netopia ISP partners who have
provided information for automatic setup. Choose
Generic ISP if your ISP is not included on the list. If you
don’t already have an account with the selected ISP, call
and order service using the listed customer service
telephone number.
When you have done this, click Next.
Connection Profile screen. Enter your ISP-supplied
configuration information mentioned above. All fields
must be filled in except the Alternate DNS field if your ISP
does not provide one. If your ISP appeared in the
“Internet Service Provider Selection screen” on page 3-6
your ISP will already have provided much of the
information required for the connection, and these fields
will appear grayed-out.
When you have done this, click Next.
The “Name and Password screen” on page 3-7 appears;
this is where you enter the username and password for
your connection to your ISP.
