Netopia r6100 Guida Di Riferimento

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 Transpor t or Classic Networking (MacTCP) installed.

Note: If you want to use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) ser ver built into your Netopia 
R6000 Series to assign IP addresses to your Macintoshes, you must be running Open Transpor t, standard 
in MacOS 8 and optional in earlier system versions. You can have your Netopia R6000 Series dynamically 
assign IP addresses using MacTCP; however, to do so requires that the optional AppleTalk kit be installed 
which can only be done after the router is configured.

■

You must have built-in Ethernet or a third-par ty Ethernet card and its associated drivers installed in your 
Macintosh.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which enables dynamic addressing, is enabled by default in 
the router. To configure your Macintosh computer for dynamic addressing do the following:

Note: You can also use these instructions to configure other computers on your network to accept IP addresses 
ser ved by the Netopia R6000 Series.
