.

 

Your ISP may offer various Internet access account plans. Typically, these plans var y by usage charges and the 
number of host IP addresses supplied. Evaluate your networking needs and discuss them with your ISP before 
deciding on a plan for your network. 

 

Check whether your ISP has the Netopia R6000 Series on its list of suppor ted products that have been tested 
with a par ticular configuration. If the ISP does not have the Netopia R6000 Series on such a list, describe the 
Netopia R6000 Series in as much detail as needed, so your ISP account can be optimized. As appropriate, refer 
your ISP to Netopia’s Web site, www.netopia.com, for more information.

 

Typically, each network computer that requires Internet access requires its own unique IP address. If some or 
all network computers require simultaneous Internet access, obtain a block of IP host addresses large enough 
for each computer to have its own address, plus one for the Netopia R6000 Series. 

Consider expected growth in your network when deciding on the number of addresses to obtain. Alternatively, 
you can use the Network Address Translation feature.

Network Address Translation provides Internet access to the network connected to the Netopia R6000 Series 
using only a single IP address. These routers translate between the internal or local area network (LAN) 
addresses and a single external IP address and route accordingly.
