2. Select Ethernet Subnet Mask and enter the subnet mask your ISP has given you. The Ethernet Subnet
Mask defaults to a standard class mask derived from the class of the Ethernet IP address you entered in
the previous step.
3. Press the Down arrow key until the editable field labeled Domain Name is highlighted.
4. Type the Domain Name your ISP gave you. Press Return. The next field Primary Domain Name Server will
be highlighted.
5. Type the Primary Domain Name Server address your ISP gave you. Press Return. A new field Secondary
Domain Name Server will appear. If your ISP gave you a secondary domain name server address, enter it
here. Press Return until the next field Default IP Gateway is highlighted.
6. If you do not enter a Default IP Gateway value, the router defaults to the remote IP address you entered in
the Easy Setup connection profile. If the Netopia Router does not recognize the destination of any IP traffic,
it forwards that traffic to this gateway.
Do not confuse the remote IP address and the Default IP Gateway’s address with the block of local IP
addresses you receive from your ISP. You use the local IP addresses for the Netopia R7200’s Ethernet port
and for IP clients on your local network. The remote IP address and the default gateway’s IP address
should point to your ISP’s router.
7. Press the Down arrow key until you reach NEXT SCREEN. Press Return.
Easy Setup Security Configuration
The Easy Setup Security Configuration screen lets you password-protect your Netopia R7200. Input your Write
Access Name and Write Access Password with names or numbers totaling up to eleven digits.
If you password protect the console screens, you will be prompted to enter the name and password you have
specified every time you log in to the console screens. Do not forget your name and password. If you do, you
will be unable to access any of the configuration screens.
Additional security features are available. See “Security” on page 14-1.
