Netopia R310 Router User Manual


 
5-2 User’s Reference Guide
Note about screen differences. Netopia R310 models offering different feature sets will have variations in the
fields on certain screens. For example, there are switched (dial-up ISDN) and leased (Synchronous/Asynchro-
nous and T1) line models, as well as models that offer feature subsets such as SmartIP (Network Address
Translation and DHCP). Your own console screens may look different from those illustrated in this manual.
The Easy Setup menus display and permit changing the values contained in the default Connection Profile
you created when you ran the SmartStart Wizard for initial configuration. Experienced users can also use
Easy Setup to initially configure the router directly through a console session without using SmartStart.
Easy Setup menus contain up to five descendant screens for viewing or altering these values. The number
of screens depends on whether you have optional features installed.
The WAN Configuration menu displays and permits changing your Connection Profile(s), creating or
deleting additional Connection Profiles, and configuring or reconfiguring the manner in which you may be
using the router to connect to more than one service provider or remote site.

Connecting through a Telnet session
Features of the Netopia R310 may be configured through the console screens.
Before you can access the console screens through Telnet, you must have:
a network connection locally to the router or IP access to the router through the WAN port. This could be
the same connection as the one you used with SmartStart and the "Easy" path. If you used the default
configuration for SmartStart, your IP address will be 192.168.1.1.
