System configuration features
The Netopia R9100 Ethernet Router’s default settings may be all you need to configure your Netopia R9100.
Some users, however, require advanced settings or prefer manual control over the default selections. For these
users, the Netopia R9100 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, MacIP, or BootP
■ Greater network security through the use of filters
■ System configuration of AppleTalk LAN settings
■ System configuration of connections to AppleTalk networks through the Internet or any IP network, using
AURP (AppleTalk “tunneling”)
To access the system configuration screens, select System Configuration in the Main Menu, then press
Return.
The System Configuration menu screen appears:
Network protocols setup
These screens allow you to configure your network’s use of the standard networking protocols:
■ IP: Details are given in “IP Setup and Network Address Translation” on page 9-1 .
■ IPX: Details are given in “IPX Setup” on page 10-1.
■ AppleTalk: Details are given in “AppleTalk Setup” on page 11-1.
Note: AppleTalk requires the optional AppleTalk feature expansion kit.
