Your ISP may offer various Internet access account plans. Typically, these plans vary by usage charges and the
number of host IP addresses supplied. Evaluate your networking needs and discuss them with your ISP before
deciding on a plan for your network.

Check whether your ISP has the Netopia 4752 on its list of supported products that have been tested with a
particular configuration. If the ISP does not have the Netopia 4752 on such a list, describe the Netopia 4752 in
as much detail as needed, so your ISP account can be optimized. As appropriate, refer your ISP to Netopia’s
Web site www.netopia.com for more information.

Typically, each network computer that requires Internet access requires its own unique IP address. If some or
all network computers require simultaneous Internet access, obtain a block of IP host addresses large enough
for each computer to have its own address, plus one for the Netopia 4752.
Consider expected growth in your network when deciding on the number of addresses to obtain. Alternatively,
you can use the Network Address Translation feature of SmartIP.

The Netopia 4752 SDSL Integrated Access Device supports Multiple Network Address Translation (MultiNAT).
Network Address Translation provides Internet access to the network connected to the Netopia 4752 using only
a single IP address. These routers translate between the internal or local area network (LAN) addresses and a
single external IP address, and route accordingly. MultiNAT is a means of mapping one or more IP addresses
and/or IP service ports into different values.
This
mapping
serves two functions:
■
It allows the addresses of many computers on a LAN to be represented to the public Internet by only one or
a few addresses, saving you money.
■
It can be used as a security feature by obscuring the true addresses of important machines from potential
hackers on the Internet.
For more information on Network Address Translation, see Chapter 11, “Multiple Network Address Translation.”
