System configuration features
The Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 default settings may be all you need to configure your Router. Some users,
however, require advanced settings or prefer manual control over the default selections. For these users,
Netopia Firmware Version 5.4 provides system configuration options.
To help you determine whether you need to use the system configuration options, review the following
requirements. If you have one or more of these needs, use the system configuration options described in later
chapters.
System configuration of dynamic IP address distribution through DHCP or BootP
Greater network security through the use of filters
Use of Network Time Protocol
To access the system configuration screens, select System Configuration in the Main Menu, then press
Return.
