Connecting to Your Local Area Network 3-1 Chapter 3 Connecting to Your Local Area Network This chapter describes how to physically connect the Netopia 4522 to your local area network (LAN). Before you proceed, make sure the Netopia 4522 is properly configured. You can customize the router’s configuration for your particular LAN requirements using console-based management (see “Console-Based Management” on page 5-1).
3-2 Getting Started Guide Once the Netopia 4522 is properly configured and connected to your LAN, PC and Macintosh computers that have their required components in place will be able to connect to the Internet or other remote IP networks. Connecting to an Ethernet Network You can connect a standard 10/100Base-T Ethernet network to the Netopia 4522 using its Ethernet port.
Sharing the Connection 4-1 Chapter 4 Sharing the Connection Once you have set up your physical local area network, you will need to configure the TCP/IP stack on each client workstation connected to your Netopia 4522. This chapter describes how to configure TCP/IP for both Windows-based and Macintosh computers.
4-2 Getting Started Guide Dynamic configuration (recommended) To configure your PC for dynamic addressing do the following: 1. Go to the Start Menu/Settings/Control Panels and double click the Network icon. From the Network components list, select the Configuration tab. 2. Select TCP/IP-->Your Network Card. Then select Properties. In the TCP/IP Properties screen, select the IP Address tab. Click “Obtain an IP Address automatically”. 3. Click on the DNS Configuration tab. Click Disable DNS.
Sharing the Connection 4-3 Static configuration (optional) If you are manually configuring for a fixed or static IP address, perform the following: 1. Go to Start Menu/Settings/Control Panels and double click the Network icon. From the Network components list, select the Configuration tab. 2. Select TCP/IP-->Your Network Card. Then select Properties. In the TCP/IP Properties screen, select the IP Address tab. Click “Specify an IP Address.” Enter the following: IP Address: 192.168.1.2 Subnet Mask: 255.
4-4 Getting Started Guide 3. Click on the Gateway tab (shown below). Under “New gateway,” enter 192.168.1.1. Click Add. This is the Netopia 4522’s pre-assigned IP address. Click on the DNS Configuration tab. Click Enable DNS. Enter the following information: Host: Type the name you want to give to this computer. Domain: Type your domain name. If you don't have a domain name, type your ISP's domain name; for example, netopia.com.
Sharing the Connection 4-5 Configuring TCP/IP on Macintosh Computers The following is a quick guide to configuring TCP/IP for MacOS computers. Configuring TCP/IP in a Macintosh computer requires the following: You must have either Open Transport or Classic Networking (MacTCP) installed.
4-6 Getting Started Guide Static configuration (optional) If you are manually configuring for a fixed or static IP address, perform the following: 1. Go to the Apple menu. Select Control Panels and then TCP/IP or MacTCP. 2. With the TCP/IP window open, go to the Edit menu and select User Mode. Choose Advanced and click OK. Or, in the MacTCP window, select Ethernet and click the More button. 3.
Sharing the Connection 4-7 Note: You can use these instructions to configure other computers on your network to accept IP addresses served by the Netopia 4522. You can also use these instructions to configure other computers on your network with manual or static IP addresses. Be sure each computer on your network has its own IP address.

Console-Based Management 5-1 Chapter 5 Console-Based Management Console-based management is a menu-driven interface for the capabilities built into the Netopia 4522. Console-based management provides access to a wide variety of features that the router supports. You can customize these features for your individual setup. This chapter describes how to access the console-based management screens.
5-2 Getting Started Guide may be using the router to connect to more than one service provider or remote site.
Console-Based Management 5-3 Configuring Telnet software If you are configuring your router using a Telnet session, your computer must be running a Telnet software program. ■ If you connect a PC with Microsoft Windows, you can use a Windows Telnet application or simply run Telnet from the Start menu. ■ If you connect a Macintosh computer, you can use the NCSA Telnet program supplied on the Netopia 4522 CD. You install NCSA Telnet by simply dragging the application from the CD to your hard disk.
5-4 Getting Started Guide Launch your terminal emulation software and configure the communications software for the values shown in the table below. These are the default communication parameters that the Netopia 4522 uses. Parameter Suggested Value Terminal type PC: ANSI-BBS Mac: ANSI, VT-100, or VT-200 Data bits 8 Parity None Stop bits 1 Speed 9600 - 57600 bits per second Flow Control None Note: The router firmware contains an autobaud detection feature.
