5. In the IP Profile Parameters screen, toggle Address Translation
Enabled to Yes if you choose to use Network Address
Translation.
Network Address Translation allows communication between
the LAN connected to the Netopia Router and the Internet using
a single IP address, instead of a routed account with separate
IP addresses for each computer on the network. Network
Address Translation also provides increased security by hiding
the local IP addresses of the LAN connected to the Netopia
Router from the outside world.
Note: See “Summary of the Netopia Router models and
features” on page 1-5 of the
Getting Started Guide.
■ If you did not enable Network Address Translation, select IP
Addressing and, from the pop-up menu, choose the IP routing
method that your ISP or network administrator specifies (either
Numbered or Unnumbered).
■ If your ISP uses Numbered (Inter face-based) Routing, select
Local WAN IP Address and enter the local WAN address your
ISP gave you. Then select Local WAN IP Mask and enter the
WAN subnet mask of the remote site you will connect to.
