CHAPTER 1 Overview of Major
Capabilities
The Motorola Netopia® Gateway offers simplified setup and management features as well
as advanced broadband Gateway capabilities. The following are some of the main features
of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway:
• “Wide Area Network Termination” on page 12
The Gateway combines an ADSL modem with an Internet Gateway. It translates proto-
cols used on the Internet to protocols used by home personal computers and elimi-
nates the need for special desktop software (i.e. PPPoE).
• “Simplified Local Area Network Setup” on page 14
Built-in DHCP and DNS proxy features minimize or eliminate the need to program any
network configuration into your home personal computer. UPnP™ feature allows ease of
connection with many compatible networked devices.
• “Management” on page 16
A Web ser ver built into the Motorola Netopia® Operating System makes setup and
maintenance easy using standard browsers. Diagnostic tools facilitate troubleshooting.
• “Security” on page 18
Network Address Translation (NAT), password protection, Stateful Inspection firewall
and other built-in security features prevent unauthorized remote access to your network.
NAT Games and other ser vices, default ser ver, and other features permit access to
computers on your home network that you can specify. VPN technology (standard VPN
Passthrough and optional IPSec tunnelling) enables telecommuters, mobile workforce
and branch offices to safely and affordably connect to a remote business network, for
effective communication and collaboration.
