Make sure the ISP can meet any unique requirements you may have. Potential requirements include:

■

Dynamic or static IP addressing

■

Class C IP address

■

Custom domain name

■

Multiple email addresses

■

Web site hosting

■

Call back for web site hosting at your site

Compare pricing, ser vice, and technical suppor t ser vice among various ISPs. 

Check with your ISP for the location of their nearest point of presence (POP) in reference to your site. In some 
instances, the ISP that you choose may not offer a POP in your local area. If that is the case, you may incur 
additional fees for long-distance calls. 

Consider recommendations from colleagues and reviews in publications. Netopia lists Netopia Cer tified ISPs on 
our web site at ‘http://www.netopia.com’.

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. 

The following checklist is a guide to ensure you obtain the Internet ser vice you require.

Check whether your ISP has the Netopia R2020 on a list of suppor ted products that have been tested with a 
par ticular configuration. If the ISP does not have the Netopia R2020 on such a list, describe the Netopia R2020 
in as much detail as needed, so your ISP account can be optimized. As appropriate, you may refer your ISP to 
Netopia’s web site for more information.

Typically, each computer on the network 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 R2020.
